IT WAS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO TROLL

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Amigans are TOO FRICKIN' used to WANTING to see spaceships (and other cigar-shaped objects) where they are not - and too used to playing the same type of game from the other angle to believe that everybody else isn't into that game.

It's a cigar, dammit! ;  }

My partner Cybereye (business partner not life partner:-P) had a subscription for a year so I saw a few copies of Total Amiga. It looked pretty well put togther.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

MIkey_c: Can't really tell.. Have never seen single issue of that
magazine so can't comment it.

But right here and now.. After this inspirating (and way off topic)
introduction and hearing you are making it.. I'm a lot less interested
of ordering it. I have seen enough of that 'material' of yours (for
free) at various sites...

@JoannaK

That's just stupid, if you don't mind me saying so. First, you can see plenty of issues in PDF format on their website, so don't criticise a magazine for bias until you've read it. Second, Mikey is not responsible for the editorial content or policy.

This comment is no better than the stupid anti-Amiga.org Magazine comments others have made elsewhere. Why can't people engage their brains before writing?

Joanna, there is a world of difference between one person's avid committment to promoting the mag and the content, which are written by a range of people and have covered AOS, MorphOS and AROS in the last few issues.

Total Amiga perjaps suffers in its public image because it is produced on a non-profit basis and might therefore appear to be amateurish. It shouldn't be perceived like this, as it is well written, well laid out and certainly worth the modest asking price. Many of the back issues can be downloaded for free from the TA site.

One of my favourite Amiga mags was the black and white JAM that was very dodgy at times, but again, a worthwhile read.

As for a new mag? Excellent. I'll be buying.

A LinuxPPC section would be great, so that at least both sides have something in common :)

Will Issue 0 be available to people who cannot possibly be at the Benelux Show? :)

Will the magazine's reviews have little bubble blurbs that would detail how a piece of software works in MOS, OS4, OS3.x and UAE environements?  (IE: Like with the A1200 was recently released, magazine reviews would indicate how a piece of software would run on the A1200 vs the A500, or would detail improvements with AGA support, etc.)

Agreed.

I also like the idea of a "Linux section" (sounds like an operation!!) as,  I suspect quite a few of us A1'ers will probably end up dual booting.

@ DaveP  .. hey,  hope they got all the nasties out....  & speedy recovery.

Hey Miffy, hope you recover soon! It's pretty dull outside without the harmless little bunny :-)
