Printer and postal service willing, it should be arriving in subscriber's mailboxes in two weeks or so, and will be on sale at the GameRoom web site on March 1st.

(Now I can enjoy the weekend!  :cheers:)

Really?  I just got February's on Tuesday (2/17)...

January and February's issues seem to have gone into a USPS black hole, and are popping out at random intervals. I've had subscribers just getting their January issues this week, while some got their February issue on January 27th.

Did I mention I hate the USPS?

Whatever you do keep David Ellis, I will probably miss his articles the most.

Well, I can understand that if the current "mix" of articles isn't your thing -- what sort of articles would you like to see more of?

I've got many "tribes" of readers, each who want more of their interest area. Video gamers, Pinheads, jukebox nuts, antique slot collectors, pachinko enthusiasts -- I've heard from all of them.

Getting the right "mix" is tough, but I'm always trying to make everyone happy.

I  think it's safe to say that you can eliminate MOST Pachinko coverage...  ;)

It's not like I dislike the magazine and will never renew.  I just 
found myself reading one article an issue and once in a while 
another.  Although, the February issue is really good and will 
probably make me renew again.
 
I think it was just the mood I was in where I was in the middle of 
board repair and restoration and wasn't finding any articles that 
interest me, but maybe it was more then that.  I'd have to think 
about it.  I know there are a few sections that I don't really care 
for and never read.  I don't mind some focus on Pachinko or whatever 
else is out there.  I kind of like the history on things I've never 
seen.  Maybe an issue on Mahjong is due.
 
As far as topics I'd really like to see,
 
-Interview with people at Atari who designed the controllers.
-The development of (Insert pin, vid, etc)  where you contact a dev 
or group of devs and they tell what happened during development.
-Revamp the many incarnations and do it more like Retrogaming Times 
Monthly
-Howto topics which go more in depth on certain parts of restoration, 
fixing things etc.
-Tips from the pros - where you contact the record hold or someone 
very good at a particular vid, pin, etc and they give some insight on 
the game
 
I've got more, but need to finish reading the February issue.
