Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BEAM online Magazine
I may be a bit late in answering this e-mail, (I'm technically out of
commision, in terms of the 'net' but this idea has been tossed around many
times before. In my opinion, don't bother. There isn't enough real
content. Nothing is current enough to make a magazine worthwhile. I've
notived that people stick around a little while, jabbing on the list and
so forth, but eventually just go off to build their robots and they just
do it on their own. A magazine may be nice, but you're going to just have
to stock it with fresh of the press stuff, I mean, who needs another
solar engine?
