UK Computer Shopper is *not* published by Interactive, the publishers of Amiga Computing. It is published by Dennis, a completely different company. (Does anyone actually like Amiga Computing out there?) Maybe you're thinking of "Amiga Shopper",published by Future (Amiga Format people) which is Britain's only non-games Amiga magazine. It's wonderful, it's cheap, but I'm biased. > How can they call their zine "Computer Shopper"?! There's already a > "Computer Shopper" here in the U.S. (Unfortunately, they don't do much for > the Amiga community.) Possibly because US Computer Shopper is completely unavailable here. There'd be a riot if it was, since US prices are about half UK ones. UK Computer Shopper is around quarter the size of its Stateside namesake, but does have many more articles by very good writers. -- |Stewart C.
