Of course they're right but like you I think the sam scene is a bit bland with so little decent downloads available on the internet. I agree that if we all sorted ourselves out we could really do a great sam ftp site. I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with commercial games but disk magazines tend to be more topical and therefore I think devalued by time. I must admit in all fairness I'd be motivated enough to download mags from the internet but not enough to buy them at £2-3. I did subscribe to Fred for quite a while but the editorial went down hill so did my interest and I didn't renew. I say this in all honesty that I think many Sam mags are very impressive and it would be nice to show ST and Amiga users how good the sam scene was at its best. For a minority machine we seem to have more than our fair share of talented programmers and writers.
