Karin, Thanks for your prompt response. It was also nice to see that you have been sending responses to my e-mail address as well, since I don't check in here as often. RE:<<Non-receipt of Nautilus issues has been attributed to Japanese postal delivery problems.>> I hate to tell you this Karin, but someone's lying to you. The Japanese postal delivery system is one of the best in the world, far better than the US. I have never had a disc from Nautilus take more than 6 days (usually 4-5) to arrive from your distribution point in Dublin Ohio. In fact, the May 1993 disc was postmarked June 10 in Dublin Ohio and I received it in Kobe Japan on June 15. OTOH, the month before (April 93 or volume 4~4) was the FIRST (nd I hope only) time that the disc was sent by bulk mailing via Hong Kong through a mail discounter called TNT Mailfast (return TST Box 99804 Hong Kong). They have a reputation for losing and delayed delivery of parcels, so beware! RE: <<I am checking with our Mac editor regarding the Sushi and Info-Mac sections and will have an answer for you the beginning of next week.>> It would be great if you could put those back in! The consensus among the Nautilus members that I know in Japan is that this was one of the best parts of the publication. I know you are TRYING to do a good job and I can tell by your tone that you WANT to give good service, and I appreciate it. I hope these problems of the last few months are but a minor glitch in an otherwise very good record. One member has attributed it to your "new" management that took over this year. If that's the case, I hope you are sending them copies of our coorespondance:-) Cheers, Jim Reppond
