	FWIW, the newsagents on Ecclesall Rd next door to the Nursery
Tavern are quite good at having LFormat, LMagazine and LJournal.

	Well, that never happened with the Amiga magazines :-))) In my
opinion, LFormat wasn't too good (I haven't read it in a long time, has
to be said), LMagazine is a bit better (and this issue has an article on
Atheos, which I think is quite cool), and LJournal is probably the best
of the three
	It's just a shame that all these magazines try to have advanced
programming articles that deal with how to set-up a viewport in OpenGL,
and usually do quite a good job at being more obscure than the
documentation itself... (LJournal fares better in this respect).

	Morning rants over :-)
