Where is Amy Resourse?

Does anyone know why "Amiga Resourse" is missing from this months Compute?
I got an Amiga Resource with mine (March 91 issue). Maybe they sent you
the wrong version.
All of the copies of Compute that I've seen on the newsstands for the last
two months have been missing the Amiga section. This wasn't the case for
tthe first few months of the new format. Does anyone know why the change
in
policy?

According to Denny Atkins, the Amiga Resource edition is by subscription
only.

Amiga Resourse is subscription only? That really STINKS! Another black
eye for the Amiga! No wonder the origional editors quit! Arrrrrgh!
It's on the stands here! The reason I don't subscribe is cause I want ALL
the sections.
That's interesting. You have Amiga Resource on the newsstand? Maybe they
don't include it in my area for sme perserve reason. I guess I'll just
keep my eyes open to see if they ever include Amy Resourse in my area. If
not, I guess they loose a sale.
Leslie,
I'm starting to wonder if the wrong bundles have been sent to your area.
You might give them a call or write a letter.

This is a very strange policy! Newsstand sales is always one of the major
sources of generating new subscriptions. If I wanted to subscribe to the
publication now, I wouldn't know how to go about it. Is this another
example of an Amiga-related endeavor with a gun pointed straight at its
foot?
The March issue isn't on stands yet here in Toronto but my February issue
DOES contain Amiga Resource.
How did you obtain your copy? Are you a subscriber or did you buy your
copy at a newsstand? If you got yours at a newsstand, that means they're
shipping a different version to Canada, because I know that none of the
copies I've seen at newsstands here in the S.F. Bay Area have the Amiga
section in them.
Don,
I don't subscribe cause I want all the sections. I always buy on the
newsstand. When they were here for WOC in December I didn't buy the issue
on the desk cause it was the Gazette version.
This is a weird thing to do with a magazine. I really wondered if they
could pull it off. I assumed they had but it seems like they're screwing up
somehow.
Malcolm
Yeah, I wonder what could possibly be the strategy for removing the Amiga
section from the newsstand edition? I looked on the editorial page of the
first issue that did this for an explanation or even an announcement – zip.
Do they have an address here on Compu-serve or anywhere else? It would be
nice if someone could get an explanation out of them.
Don
I'm looking at the newsstand version of Compute.
Leslie:
Maybe they made a mistake with your copy. My March issue showed up today
with the Amiga section.

The newsstand copy in my area does not include the Amy Resource. Darn. I
never did like Compute (but I did like Resourse.)
