Yes, I should have.  I had seen a few issues of it and really wanted
to subscribe but as I was only a high school student when I first got
into the Apple IIs, I couldn't afford to do so.

And now that I have been through college and worked as a security
guard for three years followed by a stint of semi-employment (temp.
and miscellaneous jobs) I still can't afford to subscribe to any of
the magazines or buy any of the hardware for my IIgs that I would
like.  :(

Guess I better getted started on those shareware programs I've had
rolling around in my head for years.  :)
