About 2 weeks ago, I wrote a scathing letter to AC TECH magazine,
complaining about the quality of a UNIX article in the second issue. Among
the topics I raised was: "Don't you have a technical review board to
weed out mistakes...?"
Well, I got a call from Ernie Viveiros of AC TECH today. Indeed,
the magazine does *not* have a review board, but it wants to form one now.
I have accepted a position as reviewer of UNIX-oriented articles, so that
"slot" is taken. But if you have a strong background in other Amiga-related
topics, and you want to volunteer to be a member of this board, contact Ernie
Viveiros at (800) 345-3360.
This is a VOLUNTEER job; that is, you don't get paid. However, I've
been given complimentary subscriptions to AC TECH and AMAZING COMPUTING for
my work. (Of course, I can't guarantee that you'll get this too, since I'm
not a representative of AC TECH. But I'd guess that it's likely.) Ernie
says that he would like to pay the board members "eventually", but there are
no funds to do this now.
I am not a representative of AC TECH -- in fact, before today, I
had never spoken with anyone on its staff before. So standard disclaimers
apply....
