- Thanks again. I did get Compute!'s Gazette for years, in fact it was my main
- magazine. I got it for a year in the digest format, but after the section
- dwindled to even fewer pages, I let my subscription lapse. Now I guess I'm
- screwed... I have heard of Twin Cities 128, but since it was/is a 128 specific
- publication, I figured it'd be a technical mag, something I don't need. What I
- really need is news about new products, hardware and software. along with BBS
- info... And national users groups sound like a good idea, too. I never got on
- QLink (don't like paying for anything)...
