    Not exactly, I think you've mixed up the month and year. The final
issue of A+ was May 1989, while the final issue of inCider/A+ was July
1993.

    That is the December 1990 issue of inCider/A+, the very first
issue that added Macintosh coverage. IMO, that very issue marked
the beginning of the end of the publication. I let my subscription
lapse after that point.

    The cover of the final A+ had a picture of several floppy disks
next to a Sider hardrive, with John Madden in the upper corner. The
lead articles were about homebrew hardrives, the Video Overlay Card
and World GeoGraph. As for the final inCider/A+ issue, that had a
picture of an Apple Color Composite IIe monitor and modem floating
in a starfield (presumably to imply "cyberspace") with the lead
articles covering the Internet, GS memory cards and an Apple II
compatible notebook. The only hint that it was the final issue was 
the farewell note from Joe Kohn on the last page (which announced
the end of Shareware Solutions and the start of SSII). That also
marked the end of the era for newsstand Apple II magazines...
