Do you see pattern developing here? It seems that whenever the issue of COMPUTE's Amiga content or distribution comes up, a sub-thread of resentment starts rolling on and on. Well, I know this is no consolation but, <bonk!> Homey don' play dat! Magazines don't make it when they're perceived as market-driven entities, rather than simply an information 'service' (or 'resource', if you will). While the Amiga community has all but forgotten you and your Amiga subscriptions dwindle, the significance of your service to this community as an editor of Compute is drifting from minimal to ridiculous. COMPUTE is only taking away a small piece of the subscription pie from the REAL Amiga publications that work to keep 'Amiga' visible in large type at newsstands. I believe your job at COMPUTE is increasingly a waste of the talent I enjoyed in Amiga Resource years ago; Once a magazine snubs a platform the way COMPUTE has with the Amiga, you can be sure the coverage will never flourish again. BTW – I've had subscriptions to COMPUTE! and later Amiga Resource, which I _really_ enjoyed. I don't think COMPUTE is ashamed of anything, but I also don't think they care. I hope someday you are able to find a position at AmigaWorld, A.C. or .info.
