#Amiga World Ends

Gee, Denny – I never sent them an article back when my articles were worth
sending to magazines – because the grammar and spelling in the magazine made me
cringe. I even offered to proofread it for free after reading the first two or
three issues – but I never heard from them.
At that time, I felt that the articles had excellent content, but that they
desperately needed a good editor. When nearly every paragraph has a spelling
or grammatical error, it makes one wonder how careful they were about technical
information, too.
But I do wish them well – and they have certainly worn well on the Amiga
community.

>it makes one wonder how careful they were about technical information, too
While I was still a Sofware Engineer at C=, I got a copy of Amazing Tech (or
whatever it was called), then called to ask if they wanted someone to review
for technical content, perhaps the way AWTech Journal had a review board. I
told them myself and a few other engineers would be interested in volunteering.
They said yeah, they'd get back to me. I called a few times over the course of
a year. It never happened.

"They said yeah, they'd get back to me. I called a few times over the

That's one of the reason's I thought AW Tech Journal was top notch while
Amazing's AC Tech was mediocre. I still have all the AW Tech Journals, at
least as many as they printed anyway. Still a lot of good information in
there.

That's too bad, you know. The magazine had – probably still has – all the
makings of a really great one, yet these little and seemingly unimportant
things have kept lots of us from putting our trust in it. I haven't looked at
it in a while. I think I will give it another chance, in hopes that now they
have taken care of these things.
