Well, this is it! With this issue of SUM we complete two full years of publishing this magazine in its present format. We were usually on time, and conclude this final issue only one month behind schedule. SUM as a magazine will be no more. However, we welcome the opportunity to continue to work with Time Designs Magazine and Tim Woods, its editor. Hopefully, by merging our efforts in this way, our favorite computers will be able to continue to receive the very finest support possible.
Just within the last month we became aware to the leaving of the market of another stalwart supporter, English Micro Connection due to Bob Dyl’s health. We hope that all those companies who remain will receive the greatest support from us, the computer users. Without us, they cannot survive in this market. Already we see some having to turn to the Atari, Commodore, or IBM market to stay in business. At the same time, new products are still coming to market – games, business applications, graphics, utilities, hardware. Consider each carefully and buy as soon as possible if interested. We’ve all already paid for our machines long ago. Regular expenditures in new additions is a small price to pay for the “fun” and value of these products.
Our reprint of The Best of SUM is already in its second edition! It consists of 112 pages of articles from past issues of SUM. Going to press now is The Best of SUM, Part I with the best articles, programs, and construction projects from December, 1985 thru July, 1986 all in one volume – about 65 pages worth. Look for our ads in our sister publications for any other new products introduced by SUM.
Thank you, one and all, for your unqualified support and help in making this publishing venture the pleasure and success that it was!
