At the end of the day, a line has to be drawn. You are happy to subscribe
and I`m sure you feel you get a lot of benefit from the magazine.
Unfortunately, at this present time, I don`t.
To answer another of your questions, yes, my wife does let me go down the
pub, or play snooker, bowls etc (if I was under the thumb I wouldn`t be
allowed to have three computers in the house).
You touched a nerve with that one :-))
As well as all the informed opinions, tuturials etc, which are good no doubt
about it, I am also after value for money in a magazine which I personally
am not getting ATM. I am looking forward to the release of the Amiga One, as
I have looked forward to so many promised new Amiga`s, but for me, this is
the last chance saloon.
Regards,
Steve
