- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - MicroMiga announces new Amiga publication.
-
-
- MicroMiga, known best as a mail order vendor specializing in the Amiga
- line of personal computers since 1988 is announcing today we will start
- publishing a new Amiga specific magazine. The first issue is scheduled
- for May of this year and subsequent issues will be released quarterly.
-
- This new magazine titled "Amiga Explorer" will focus on the Amiga
- marketplace, spending most of its pages on what's available and new to
- the Amiga community. It will have in depth reviews of software and
- hardware, columns on how best to use your Amiga and the software you
- purchase. Several technical articles covering C programming and ARexx
- are also planned.
-
- We will also be spending a great deal of time "Exploring" the online
- community including commercial online services, BBS's and
- Shareware/Public Domain Software. Included in every issue will be several
- "Spotlight" articles where we will do in depth reviews of Shareware
- software, interviews with the developers and also spotlight different
- BBS's around the country.
-
- Just like every other magazine, we will have the usual reviews of all
- the popular hardware and software plus the usual new products listings.
- What will be different is our commitment to the shareware and
- telecomputing public.
-
- In the weeks to come we will release an outline of the planned articles
- for 1993 and into 1994. In this outline we will discuss in great detail
- the direction we plan to take Amiga Explorer and we hope you will take
- the time in the next few weeks to contact us with your ideas, suggestions
- or submissions.
-
- Amiga Explorer will be your magazine, it will be completely designed from
- the ground up based on your input. If you want something or don't like
- something let us know. We will be available to you via several online
- systems including Internet/Usenet.
-
- Our columns and reviews will be written by people like yourself, people
- you know, people you correspond with right here on the net. In other
- words, people who know what the Amiga is all about.
-
- The first issue will be available to all those who ask free of charge,
- simply write us at the address below to request your free issue. Future
- issues will be available for only the cost of mailing, or ask your local
- dealer to carry it free of charge.
-
- Much help is needed in the development of Amiga Explorer. If you are
- interested in helping out, please contact us at the address below.
-
- MicroMiga will no longer be doing any mail order sales, instead focusing
- all available resources on the publication.
