AMIGAphile Volume 1 Number 2 (AUGUST 1992)
We're on a roll now. This issue makes two issues in a row. If this trend in support continues, there will be many more issues to come. I would like to discuss a topic important to the survival of AMIGAphile: Advertising. With advertising support, it will be possible to continue providing the AMIGAphile newsletter free of charge. With enough advertising support, it will be possible to upgrade to quality of the printed version as well as pay the contributors of articles for their work. I would like to continue to provide the AMIGAphile newsletter to the public free of charge but without the newsletter providing any revenue, this will not be possible. If you have something related to the Amiga you would like to advertise, please see the section on submitting classified ads. For all other types of advertising, contact Dan Abend.
This month, AMIGAphile introduces the AMIGAphilosophy column which is devoted to news about AMIGAphile. This column contains everything from the results of previous projects to hopes for future endeavors. This is the forum where I will share all my ideas about what has happened and what will happen and how AMIGAphile is planning to be a part of it.
Also new in this month's issue is a column called What My Amiga Means To Me. Ken Thompson was brave enough to put his feelings down in words in order to share what his Amiga means to him. I hope to make this a regular column. One where users may share why they use their Amigas instead of another system and how they feel about the system they have chosen.
Anyone with access to Internet who would rather receive the newsletter via email, please mail me at abend@cis.ohio-state.edu so I can add your name to the emailing list. The advantages of getting the electronic version of the newsletter over the printed version are (1) It gets to you quicker (2) It costs me less (3) It's recyclable and no trees must die. The disadvantage is that you don't get the neat cover page. You win some, you lose some.
AMIGAphile is also distributed across many other computer bulletin boards. If you have access to these boards or receive the newsletter in the electronic form, please distribute it to other bulletin board systems you call which support the Amiga. The only way to keep AMIGAphile rolling is to get a broad base of readers and contributors.
Until next time, happy reading and happy computing Amiga-style.
