RE: [Fwd: Special discount to AS/400 Experts Journal]

Joel,

Did you ever get your T-Shirt?  I sure didn't.  At least Yahoo mail now
sorts regular mail and "bulk" mail and their "tech tips" go into bulk mail..
heheh.

I got my free copy of EJ yesterday too.  I read most of it.  Pretty good
info, but I'm wondering if they're also doing their own layout, editing,
etc.  Reading it is like talking with someone one on one, which can be good,
or it can be bad.  Articles tend to jump around a lot.  Figures span columns
and look tacky.

Some of the articles also go off on tangets.  Like the Net.Data one.  The
title is getting Net.Data going, and then it goes off for 2/3 of the article
talking about setting up HTTP configuration.  While you do need this, maybe
it should have been a two-parter and named "Setting up HTTP Config for
Net.Data".  Also, there are two figures in the article, both mentioned in
the first paragraph and then throughout the article.

All in all, I give the rag a 3 out of 5 stars.
