No Fluff... Sigh. Unfortunately, the number one best Amiga programming magazine, "Transactor for the Amiga" is no more. I have yet to see a non-fluffy type magazine for the Amiga since then. My advice is to: a. Get back issues of "Transactor for the Amiga" b. Get the ROM Kernel Reference Manuals c. Ask questions here on usenet, 'cause you'll usually find someone who knows what they're doing or who can at least provide tips. d. Consider joing CATS (Commodore-Amiga Technical Support, I believe). I haven't done this, but I probably should. >I subscribe to .INFO now, but it is too fluffy with reviews... What we need is a few people who want to spend some of their free time organizing a Usenet Amiga programming journal of some sort. However, I'm afraid that it would take a lot of free time and interest. | Shawn L.

Well, I have to thank everyone who answered my posting. No, I haven't become a developer yet, I didn't realize that it was so easy. Apple makes you do backflips for a chance. I guess the only No Fluff mags out there are/or will be AC Tech & AmigaWorld Tech. I have pick up a few back issues of the Transactor from a local Amiga programmer. Great Mag, too bad it went under.

One of my customers subscribed to it directly through Amazing. I think we have gotten the first issue in the store now too. Darrell Grainger
