Midrange Computing was a third player in the market. It grew out of a
newsletter that was published out of San Diego and I can't remember that
guy's name, either. MC folded up shop some years ago and Merrikay Lee
bought or took over the publishing arm.

The name of the magazine, and I thought it was the best ever, was
Midrange Computing.

If I remember correctly Midrange News was the one you'd buy for
"technical" information while New/34... was more "management". (Or was
it Midrange Computing?)

It was run under the auspices of the magazine I used to write for,
though I think they just lent their name and mailing list and it was
actually run by a commercial sales show promoter. Now I can't remember
the name of the magazine (it's hell getting old). Seems like it was
something like Midrange News as opposed to News/400 which was the name
of the Penton magazine at that time or vice versa. It started off as
System 34 News and morphed into the Midrange moniker. Jef Benedetti was
the principal staff writer and Anne Heiden?? was the editor.

Some years ago there was a "traveling road show" for the midrange market
that had an expo, vendor sessions and technical sessions. If I remember
correctly it was killed off by the advent of COMMON's twice yearly expo.
Does anyone recall who ran it? I _think_ the word "Midrange" was in the
title - but I don't think it was directly connected with Midrange
Computing (MC Press).
Anyone who has a better memory than me who can fill in some details?
It was mostly before the www got up a head of steam so Google is not
helping me much. Maybe I just don't know the right words to search for.
