The rumor of CBM underwriting AW was quite strong a few months ago. I
thought I'd even heard confirmation — but the deal was something where CBM
guaranteed profitability on the magazine, or something like that, for the
first few issues. Apparently CW Communications offered the same deal to CBM
and Atari, and only CBM went for it. Remember, I'm talking from rumors here.
I'm not sure how you'd follow up on the lead. Both parties will surely tell
you to go away, whether or not it's true… – Bela
