I POSTED THIS ARTICLE FROM ANOTHER SYSTEM LAST WEEK, BUT I DON'T
THINK IT EVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY. I APOLOGIZE IF THIS IS
A DUPLICATE FOR YOU.
Kit Kimes had a good idea in posting the ANTIC table of contents, so I'm
volunteering to post the monthly table of contents from A.N.A.L.O.G.
(MY subscription!). I'll even steal Kit's format. Anyone for Hi-Res
or Compute?
By the way, the last issue (#19) of ANALOG is dated May/June, for the
same reason that ANTIC skipped their May issue.
