Well I see finally that the group split has occured. The thread on Laser
Chess brought back a few memories. I used to have that magazine, in
addition to 36 others of Compute. I stopped getting them (on a subscription
basis) when they no longer printed out programs. Sigh. Does anyone else
know of any magazines similar to compute, with type-in able source codes?

	This reminds me of a question someone asked Richard Garriott at a
con last year.  They asked if Origin would be putting out more one-shot 
games such as Moebius, and he said no.  The days of the freelancer in 
gaming are over.  Games are too complex.  I think that this applies to 
printout publishing, too.  The games are too long, and the space a printed
code version would take is too valuable to the publisher.  The days of
simplicity in computer games are over.  Witness:  Strike Commander.
