- *** MILLER FREEMAN LAUNCHES OS/2 MAGAZINE ***
-
- SAN FRANCISCO -- Miller Freeman, Inc. today announced the launch
- of OS/2 MAGAZINE out of its San Francisco headquarters.
-
- OS/2 MAGAZINE is focused on users and system administrators who
- work with IBM's OS/2 operating system on a daily basis. "OS/2
- MAGAZINE represents another step in developing a well-rounded
- group of top-notch computer and electronics magazines here at
- Miller Freeman," said Don Pazour, Vice-President of Miller
- Freeman's High-Tech Division.
-
- Ted Bahr, Group Publisher of the company's Electronics/Design
- Group, was named Publisher of OS/2 MAGAZINE, and added, "No
- major publishing company is currently serving those individuals
- and corporate users and systems administrators who have chosen
- OS/2 as their operating system. OS/2 users are hardcore
- enthusiasts and OS/2 MAGAZINE will be serving a definite need
- in this growing market."
-
- The first issue of OS/2 MAGAZINE will hit newsstands in
- mid-November 1993, and will be distributed at Fall Comdex in Las
- Vegas. Monthly publication begins with the February 1994 issue.
- OS/2 MAGAZINE will be distributed through paid subscriptions

- satisfying advertisers' needs to reach a qualified audience,"
- Bahr explained. OS/2 MAGAZINE will be audited as soon as
- possible.
-
- Effective immediately, Miller Freeman has appointed Alan
- Zeichick as Editor-in-Chief of OS/2 MAGAZINE. "OS/2 is the most
- popular 32-bit operating system for IBM-compatible personal
- computers," Zeichick said. "Members of the OS/2 user community,
- whether individuals, small businesses, or large corporations,
- are looking for a dedicated source of information about how to
- maximize their productivity."
