# SMUG Bytes Goes Bimonthly

Announcement that SMUG Bytes will shift from monthly to bimonthly publication, combining two months per issue. Two reasons are given: the shrinking Sinclair community no longer generates enough content to fill a monthly newsletter, and the editor has been producing the monthly since September 1984 and is fatigued. Notes that other Sinclair newsletters have made the same transition or gone quarterly.
