Comments:
The penultimate issue expanded the generic technology coverage,
strengthening their ties with Tao Group. One particular omen
for the magazine's closure is the appearance of a mock cover
in the letters page that announced the AmigaOne was finally
here. CU Amiga had a similar cover
in its penultimate issue that predicted the launch of the Gateway
A2-1000. Coincidence? David Stroud would like you to believe
it is </Global Conspiracy>. |
