- Joe, you should check out GS+ magazine - ever heared of it? (sarcasm intended).
- To be serious: I know of several dozen GS+ readers here in Germany and I'm sure
- that other readers all over the world exist as well.
-
- My feelings with Incider/A+ are very mixed. On the one hand I feel that the
- IIgs needs a loyal and IIgs-only worldwide publications which leads me towards
- GS+. On the other hand I agree that the only way we can keep the IIgs user
- base (especially in schools) intact is a large, financially intact and backed
- magazine like Incider/A+. But I fear that Incider/A+ would not hesitate to
- drop Apple II coverage completly tomorrow if it doesn't fit into their cor-
- porate strategy any longer. Please understand me right: Incider/A+ writes
- about the II because they want to make bucks first. GS+ writes because they
- love the IIgs first. And that's a fundamental difference and a attitude we
- all should support!

- Just my .02$ worth ....
