Alas, I have bit off more than I can chew and I have to let something go. I had great hopes for this magazine, but I just don't have the time to do it justice. I also found that the "volunteer" idea of recruiting writers just didn't get the number of articles that I needed.

To those of you who sent in articles, I really appreciate all you did. It was because of you that this thing had any hope at all. Thank you for your work.

To the nearly 500 of you who downloaded the first issue, thanks for your support and I hope you enjoyed it.

There is one last piece of business that needs to be addressed. I promised to give a HQ Symphony TR 1.4 to one of those who submitted a story. Here is what I did. I received a total of 7 submissions between both of the issues. I took those seven gave each one a number from 1-7 based on the order that the file was listed in the folder (basicly, it came out to being sorted alphabeticly by filename). I looked at Friday's DOW closing and took the last number. The file that matched the last number of the DOW was the winner. What this all boils down to is that the winner is bobalooie57 for his great article on the Tachyon XC Micro (which was due to be in the second issue).

As to the future, I will be continuing a form of the magazine in the shape of a newsletter. If you would like to subscribe to it, you can sign up on my website:

That's about it. Thanks again for those of you who supported this.

-Mike

I know what its like to put out a newsletter. I currently do two of them and sometimes it is very hard to come up with content. I can't imagine trying to get a magazine out every month. Thanks for the attempt for sure.
