- Fred,
-
- If you haven't done so already I think you should write to all the Amiga
- mags and let them know what's happening. Certianly they should recognise
- the impact you have had on the Amiga community. You might get a few
- articles about Fish Disks, raising the public awarness and hopefully
- increasing your subscriptions. The word needs to get out to thre rest
- of the world, as most people that hang out around here have access to
- the library via FTP and such are are less likely to subscribe than people
- who rely on the mags to stay current with the Amiga scene.
-
- Just a suggestion. Any comments???
