You think that's bad.  I had just subscribed to Amiga Plus, and before I had
even received a single issue, I get the letter saying that I'm now getting
another magazine, w/o the disk feature that caused me to buy Amiga Plus.

A question: there were _TWO_ subscription rates for Amiga Plus.  One with and
another without the disk.  Do I get a bonus for paying extra money for a disk
option that I will NEVER get, or is there no difference between the two
subscriptions (and I was royally screwed)?

There is a touch of irony in all this, too.  At the end of last year I suddenly
began receiving AMIGA Plus.  It turns out that it was a fulfillment to the old
Sentry magazine which I got boned on when it went under about two years or so
ago.  (The guy who published Sentry had just joined AMIGA Plus according to 
.info magazine.)  So now AMIGA Plus tells me that the remainder of my 
"subscription" will be fulfilled by AmigaWorld beginning the very month my
AmigaWorld subscription is expiring.  As for me, I'm not displeased.  I wish
I would have gotten the tech version instead, though.
