     Computist published and mailed issues up through #89. 

     In December of 1993, I received a note from editor publisher Chuck Haight
saying that the double issue (#90/#91) was nearly ready to go. The galley
proofs of my columns were sent to me some time in early 1994. After that, Chuck
dropped out of sight and the double issue was not published. There have been no
more issues since then.

     Computist was never officially closed down. So, despite the lapse of a few
years, one can never be sure when Chuck may pop into sight and resume the mag.

     Yes. Celt (celt@chisp.net) is in the process of scanning issues and
placing them on Asimov-GS. You can find an expanded Computist Index by Joe
Walters, the scanned issues, and other Computist stuff at ...
