yes, that'd be me then :-)
seriously...this is the first 'history of' for quite some time...so it's the
first to contain the history since the last h.o. article.

aye...judging from what you'd want in a magazine I could agree ;-)

1) what if you've got a PPC A1200. you gonna go back to a 25MHz 030 machine?
2) many of the A4k's had chip revision problems...it costs to fix 'em for
upgrades
3) I have yet to see a cheap okay A4k 8-)

not many...but there again, how many TCP/IP stacks do you have to pay for
when you go to other OS's ;-)

45 ukp for a desktop managment system..fien for folks like you and me who
spend a lot of time...but if you're just a gamer or Net person then you'd

well, i havent bought an Amiga mag from a newsagent for a long long time.
I've been subscribed to them (at one time 6 Amiga subs! ouch!) ...so,
subscriptions give the publisher more money...but shelf-presence in
a newsagent is needed to promote for non-readers.
