132.0. "Amigazine!" by JOKE::ACCIARDI () Sat Oct 04 1986 09:32

    I just got a look at a neat new disk-based magazine called "Amigazine".
    The first issue had a disk that was 99% full of articles, reviews,
    utilities, and Videos.  They include Animator and DVideo players,
    HAM pics, AmigaBASIC programs, and games written in 'C'.
    
    They entire volume can be used without ever taking your hand off
    of the mouse, and they have some neat ways of viewing and printing
    text files from the Workbench.
    
    I am going to subcribe.  The price is reasonable, and even if all
    future issues are lousy, you can always bulk the disk.  (At least
    it won't end up sitting behind the john collecting dust!)
    
    Subscription prices are:
    
    	6 monthly issues for $35.95
    	12   "      "     "  $59.95
	12 issues overseas foreign air mail for $71.95
    
    Mail to:	Amigazine! Circulation Dept.

132.1	want one now	TRUMAN::LEIMBERGER	`Tue Oct 07 1986 13:05`	3
	Sounds great.are there any places you can pick one up now. bill
132.2	Sorry/	JOKE::ACCIARDI	`Tue Oct 07 1986 13:32`	6
	Sorry, but a friend lent me his and I already returned it. It was not copy-protected, but I felt a little tacky about ripping off their first issue. The only way to get it that I know of is thru the mail, 'tho you might check some dealers.
132.3	looking for dealer	TRUMAN::LEIMBERGER	`Tue Oct 07 1986 14:52`	7
	I took in a copy of note 132 to some of the local magazine stores,and asked if they had heard about it. It seems more an more publishers are going to disk format . There were several systems supported but no the Amiga. I thought your friend might have had a line on a dealership in the area.If I locate one I'll post it. thanx,bill
132.4	Current status?	ODIXIE::OSTERMAN	`Wed Dec 31 1986 19:03`	4
	Any further word on these guys? Are they still in business? Are you happy with your subscription? -Larry
132.5	They are delivering..	CHEF::ACCIARDI	`Wed Dec 31 1986 20:53`	7
	Yep, I get my disk every month. So far, it's been worth the minimal cost. They usually include some nice HAM pics, and the best of PD software, plus some cute AmigaBASIC games. Pretty sophmoric stuff, but worth $6.00. I just take the good stuff off and then bulk the disk.
132.6	Still printing...?	SNO78C::METRO_OA	`Thu Jan 15 1987 07:37`	10
	-< You sure they're still in bussiness?>- Hi, I subscribed as soon as the premier edition came out in October and received one issue after that ( the November '86 edition) and have heard or seen nothing since!! They are now two behind at my address. Are they bankrupt? The first two issues where good value even with the airmail rates to Australia... Regards from Down Under Rob
132.7	What's the Latest?	SNO78C::METRO_OA	`Mon Feb 02 1987 03:02`	9
	Can anyone confirm to me that AMIGAZINE! is still published? I still have not recieved an issue since December. Does anyone out there have a subscription and still getting the disks? Maybe I have just done my dough... Regards from D.U. Rob
