I think it is a very good idea to make a publication which is directed
towards all the people who still  associate an Apple with a 128K machine
with 140 K disk drives.

I would organize such a publication as a topic-specific one. For example,
a FAX issue would contain Reviews of FAXination and PMPfax plus some
samples and perhaps a general introduction. A graphics issue could
include reviews of Animasia, QuickClickMorph, etc.


Recently, at the psychologist:

"Doctor, please help me! I become always a KILLER when I hear a
certain sentence!"

"No problem! Which sentence? Is it "That can't be done with the App.."

AAAARGH!!!
