I must admit I'm a little bothered by recent issues as well. I used to look forward to each issue of DDJ; now, I'm not so sure. I didn't find anything useful in the present issue (compared to past issues), and I had been anxiously awaiting that to make up for the September issue! However, I've noticed a trend with DDJ... they keep changing the editing around, adjusting their writers, etc. I hope they're not done, because I don't think they've hit on the right combination yet. Or the current combination just hasn't learned what to give ME. Heh. UUCP: {rosevax, crash}!orbit!pnet51!shawn INET: shawn@pnet51.cts.com
