Very nice, thanks for the heads up!

On a slightly related note, back in the 80's I was with my Amstrad owning friend in a newsagents, He was browsing the then busy computer section looking for his favourite magazine, couldn't find it so he asked the lady 'Do you know if you are getting Amstrad Action in this month?' she replied 'What, Hamster Action?' Never to be forgotten ;)

Very sad, especially because I just discovered it for the first time!

The sad news is that this is the last issue of Retroaction—certainly, we need to take a break, at the least.
