The Jim Collas rumor, truth or rumor? I say rumor.

Thanks for clearing that up on our behalf. As you say I am the editor of Total Amiga. MikeyC does our "PR" and writes for the magazine (he did a Mac emulation feature for issue 15 for example).

In the magazine we try to be as unbiased as possible. We do have opinion columns where, of course, the writers express their personal opinions. One of these is the Buzz Word column.

On the other hand I would point out that in issue 15 we have:

A two page update on AmigaOS 4
A two page feature on AROS
A four page review of the Pegasos and MorphOS 1.3

Oh, and the magazine was made on a machine running Amithlon. I hope this shows that we try to cover all aspects of the Amiga scene.

Shouldn't this thread be in the talkabout section anyway?

I just want to back up what Robert said in his post. In my experience, Total Amiga is a serious publication which attempts to be as unbiased in its reporting as possible.

Of course there are people contributing to TA who have their own opinions and agendas, but it's not really a problem. I mean, when you read a column by Fleecy or Alan Redhouse you know what to expect - which is to say it should be read as promotional material by the parties involved rather than unbiased reporting.

I will admit I'm not too sure about the BuzzWord section. Having a rumour section is fine, if the one compiling it has no axe to grind, but if the writer has a political agenda of his own then there is a danger that the column may be misused to further his own ends.

Having said that, I have no concerns over the future of Total Amiga as long as Robert continues to have full and total editorial control because no one should question his integrity in this matter.

Well done and keep up the good work Robert.
