Mitch– I'm very pleased with the magazine too. The first issue is starting to take shape, and looks very nice indeed. Of course you should be writing articles for us. Shall I post the writers' guides? WinTech will have a section over on CLMFORUM, but I wouldn't exactly mind if…

Mitch– WinTech has a column devoted to visual programming. Visual Basic will surely be a big part of the column's focus. We're interested in visual tools like ObjectVision, ToolBook, and VB from the professional programmer's perspective. That is: Half or more of the people who buy visual programming tools probably…
Mitch– I've been chief editor or editorial director for 15 computer magazines over the past decade, and Windows Tech Journal will be my ninth launch. As one or two of the launches were on my own dime, I've been fairly well motivated to learn something about publishing economics. JDH P.S.…
John– Of course you're precisely right about the catalog (though I worry that it may go out in multiple mailings). I just saw a chance to mouth off about something I know something about, and couldn't resist! Magazine circulation is pretty complicated. BTW…I have a note here to send you…
Mitch– If you're seeing statements printed in the pages of the magazine, they're not from BPA or ABC…they're the distribution information required by the U.S. Postal Service in the annual "statement of ownership." They do provide, for the most recent issue and the average of the past six or 12…
John– Yes, you can probably get postage receipts if you demand them. But remember that they don't prove much–for lots of magazines in the computer industry, up to 50% of the copies are sold on the newsstand. So you could get paperwork proving how many copies are shipped to the…
John– With initials like yours, you simply must subscribe. Call our tireless circulation folks at (800) 234-0386 and they'll send you a sample copy when they come off press in late December. Thanks for your interest in Windows Tech Journal. JDH
Keith– There will be many, many more VB articles in Windows Tech Journal…including one by Charles Petzold in issue #1. Just thought you'd like to know. JDH There is 1 Reply.

Doug– Send me your address and I'll get you a sample copy. I'm kinda hazy about UK subscription rates, etc., but they'll be in the mag somewhere. Thanks for your interest. JDH
Jonathan– Pointers in VB. Way cool. These definitely qualify as not-so-stupid Windows tricks. JDH
Jim– Yeah, the answering machine comes on outside of west coast business hours. Try again during the day, or just send me your address in a mail message and I'll take care of getting you a sample issue of Windows Tech Journal. JDH

Send me your address in a 'plex and I'll get you the missing Embedded Systems Programmings. I'm very pleased to get your impressions about the differences between Computer Language and DDJ. As competitors, we are always trying to find ways to describe the factors that distinguish us. DDJ runs much…

Computer Language's contents are set by its editors, not its readers. Less than 10% of what you see in the magazine comes to us unsolicited. I'm a guest in this forum, and conscious that my welcome here is a precarious thing. So I'll not comment much further on your messages.…
