An opportunity that i hesitate to actually speak.

all going well, issue two will be out at the start of May, the 1st was the plan, but we are running behind a few days.
anyway, by the time we get to issue three we want to then start offering back issues as free PDF downloads.
hope to see you for issue two - the paper version.

Sounds good to me, couldn't get the first due to being too busy to notice it had gone out of print. Might miss the second due to monetary shortage by way of outlay to buy an Apple IIe, but I'm glad to hear that it's going well enough to consider a second issue. I hope to be able to buy a copy then, and will definitely read the first issue as a PDF when it's available. If you succeed and ever reach the point of a 5th or 6th issue you should offer a limited copy paper re-print of a paper set of all 5/6 of them.
I can say with some degree of certainty that we won't be doing paper reprints – it's just too labour intensive to print off one or two copies at a time.
Number 2 is coming along nicely (in spite of wgoodf's pessimism – my chaotic workflow and inconsistent demands are going to kill him) and *should* be ready for May 1st.

Hmmm!
Print run is small. We meet demand each week as the orders come in from the website.
Advertising? Thats a difficult one.
Advertising for money? No probably not.
The whole thing is being done for cost pretty much, actually generating money would change the feel of it a bit and also make it answerable to the people who bought advertising. As it is, it is purely a hobbyist and purely for the fun of it endeavor.
Free advertising, you know, reciprocal stuff would be a different matter. All retro goodness supporting each other, that sort of thing, then yeah.
In the shops? That sounds interesting, but for the life of me i cant imagine making that actually work. Interesting idea tho.
