I am thinking of subscribing to the MSJ. I work with the PC at a low level - I want to know lots about the AT bus, serial ports, parallel ports, SVGA cards and other undocumented goodies. I have little interest in Windows, OS/2 and business software. Should I subscribe ? Henry.

MSJ is certainly not the place. I think _Dr_Dobbs_Journal_ is the closest thing there is. I think regularly reading the net is better. >I have little interest in Windows, OS/2 and business software. MSJ is heavily into such stuff. What is more, MSJ is steeped with "Microsoft's Vision", which is basically the statement that "May Microsoft Make As Much Money As Possible". The contents of MSJ slavishly reflect the official tunes of Microsoft. E.g., right now, it'll be full of Windoze given the "Kill OS/2" action-plan underway. Basically, MSJ is a faithful reflection of Microsoft, and both suck! -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Ajay Shah, (213)734-3930, ajayshah@usc.edu The more things change, the more they stay insane. _______________________________________________________________________________
