Comments: ANTIC says the subscription price is going up next month but
	  they didn't say how much.  Anyway, This is the last month at
	  $24.  There is an ad in the back for WOMBATS I from Dynamic
	  Software Design.  It is described as "new kind of adventure
	  game where the action takes place mostly in your mind."  I
	  wonder if they have ever heard of Infocom.  Anyway, it is
	  supposed to be a spoof at adventure games and life in general.
	  Sounds interesting but a little steep at $27.95 + $2.00 S&H.
	  The ANTIC Software Catalog is the same as last month.  Has
	  anyone ordered anything yet?
