Subject: Changes at The Computer Journal?
I received a letter from Chris McEwen the other day, announcing that he was
taking over Art Carlson's job as editor of The Computer Journal. He didn't
get into the details, and I'd let my subscription lapse after issue #47.
There was a file, either on Jay Sage's Z-Node or BCS's ZI/TEL BBS
explaining what happened, but I failed to obtain a copy. Does anyone have
more information? Chris McEwen alluded to health problems that finally
forced Art Carlson to step down.
Personally, the Z-System bias of the magazine made it less attractive for
me, since I'm still struggling with a CP/M 1.3 clone (Cromemco CDOS),
leaving me out of the running for a Z-System. The hardware articles were
disappointing, too. Of course, *now* Chris McEwen announces that they've
done an article on building a SCSI interface, and it's the in issue I just
missed. <Sigh>.
