Hi Everyone,
According to Judy Dixon, who is in charge of consumer relations with the 
National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, a 
braille magazine replacement for Personal Computing has been chosen.  It 
is PC Computing, whiich is a general-interest MS-DOS magazine according 
to Dixon.  It is the print magazine which took over Personal Computing.
Anyone who received Personal Computing will automatically get the 
replacement, starting with the January 1991 issue.
That is good news.  Let's just hope its a good magazine, and that NLS 
adoption isn't the kiss of death as it was for Creative Computing and 
Personal Computing.

Gary, You're right.  I knew that Creative Computing didn't sound right, but that
was what I remembered.  Byte would be nice, or PC Magazine, but to much to hope
for.  The Magazine of the Month on disk for August was the Closing the Gap
newspaper.  I haven't read it yet, as I have gotten behind, and with this move,
am not likely to catch up for a while.
Take Care...

Personal Computing was OK, but I didn't really find a lot of it
interesting.  I wish they'vd offer Popular Communications on disk or
tape.
