Comments:  The magazine is designed for experienced computer users who
	own the ST computer.  It contains high-end information that 
	requires a good grounding in computer fundamentals and practices.
	The articles do not include program listings that you can type in.
	They are all included on a disk that comes bound in the magazine
	if you buy the $14.95 version or that can be bought separately if
	you just buy the $4 magazine.  This is the only issue of the 
	magazine I plan to submit to the net.  If another user wants to
	do so, feel free.
