I'd agree with the Bandito as best column, but have to pick something else as best magazine. It was often a bit amateurish, in it's production at least. I'm not sure which one I'd pick... doesn't matter I guess, since I read most of them. ;-)

Yeah, but Amigaworld could not go for two pages without an ad.  And there were a lot more amateur than AC.

Ads are what pays for the magazine. With no ads, you're gonna have to pay a lot more for the 'zine. They're also a good indicator of the market's health. Reading those mags now, the ads are almost as much fun as the content. ;-)
There were a lot of mags more amateurish than AC, sure, but they didn't last as long.

Was just something about those Bomac towers that just oozed sheer mil spec brutality that I loved.

Back when I worked at an Amiga shop, I installed a 2000 into a Bomac tower for a customer.... that thing was built like a tank.
