Ron, If you want to go beyond simple boot-n-go, or are just curious as to what is going on in there, the Transactor for the Amiga, the TransAmi, is for you. It's not for the total neophyte but allows the new user a view into the more esoteric areas of the Amiga. It's primarialy aimed at the person who programs the thing, and contains tips and techniques that would take you forever to find for yourself (if ever). It has tutorials, product reviews and some thought provoking articles on a variety of Amiga related subjects. If you plan on _never_ programming the Amiga, and show not the least curiousity on how things get done, then it is _not_ for you. It's for the 'serious' enthusiast. It assumes some knowlege on your part but does not demand you be expert on the Amiga. It is written _by_ enthusisasts _for_ enthusiasts (unlike a lot of other magazines) The reviews in it are not the normal "Golly! Gee! Wow!" inaccurate gloss you see in most other magazines (though you will see raves you will also see flames- slightly toned down for Public Consumption 8) If you want the publications you subscribe to to treat as a fairly inteligent reader- then look no further. This is not some tired rehash of 'How to Use the CLI' dragged out for the Nth time. It is also not aimed at teaching you how to roll your own Operating System. It ranges from those simple, little bits of information that make you say, "Hey! That's _neat!_I didn't know that!" to explaining what Icons consist of, and on to what the OS is doing, and how you can fiddle with it. This magazine is definitely classed in the Stuff, Neat, Amiga class of things. If you like your Amiga, then the TransAmi is a _must_ have for you. Doug
