#Amazing Computing
5 messages in this thread
According to a conversation I had with Don Hicks, Amazing Computing will be
like Nybble was for the Apple ][ – technical, with program listings, not afraid
to dig into the machine, but also with reviews of products for the Amiga. I
have also spoken with Guy Wright, the editor-in-chief of AmigaWorld, and Bob
Ryan, his technical editor. They both stated AmigaWorld is aimed at a liberal
arts audience. Ryan said they don't want program listings, but short example
programs were O.K. – no more than ten lines. They said AmigaWorld will continue
to be applications-oriented, telling Amiga owners about new uses for their
Amiga. Well, so it goes. I'd like to see another Dr Dobbs Journal-type
magazine for the Amiga, so I've decided to put time in at Amazing Computing,
and I hope to write for Bob Perez' new magazine. The Amiga needs all the help
it can get at this point.
i always thot that amigaworld was written for illiterate slugs, also known
as lawyers and marketeers?

Sounds like an more interesting magazine then. I got a message from Don Hicks
too, so I'll probably subscribe to it. I am slowly collecting stuff to port to
the amiga too, its difficult since I don't have a USENET node available
anywhere close, I'm not going to touch the source we have though since I don't
agree with software piracy, (and I value my life too much, with all the talk
here about Electronic Arts Copy protection. Violating a Unix Source License is
inviting confiscation of house, children, and public beheading.) Yes something
like DR. Dobbs where the authors assume the reader knows what hexadecimal is
and can count to F.
