Hi
Just returned from one of my treasure hunts and have
been gifted a whole load of Amiga kit. Amongst the
many computers, software, books etc was a complete
set of Just Amiga... The Worlds Most Black and White
Amiga Magazine... Just wondered if anyone has any
knowledge of this magazine as I have never heard of
it before.
Also received a number of issues of Total Amiga.

JAM was a rather good, subscription only magazine called Just Amiga Monthly. It ran to 58 editions (mostly monthly) and was produced by Jeff Walker with contributions from the readers. It was a magazine that dealt exclusively with the serious side of the Amiga and did not cover any games. It was billed as "The Worlds most Black And White Amiga Magazine"
It was produced entirely on an Amiga, using normal Amiga programs. It was printed commercially and in my opinion one of the very best Amiga magazines ever produced. It folded when Jeff no longer had the time to carry on.
It was taken over by Larry Hickmot and incorporated into EM another subscription only magazine, this time concentrating on desktop publishing. Jam was the first magazine in the UK to run regular items about AMINET and review programs from the archive. It issued the final edition in December 1995.
