Microdeal

 "We were somewhere around Exeter on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park when the Ramipril began to take hold. I remember saying something like, "I need to go to the toilet; I'll stop at the Moto services..." For several years I'd wanted to visit Cornwall so I could stick a pin in the map for Microdeal. Clearly, the solution was an epic road trip that would surely mark me out as the successor to Hunter S. Thompson.

How Magazines Died

A gloomy title but bear with me. This started out as a paragraph about AMIGA POWER in the Power Computing article but the paragraph got longer and longer, until I thought it justified snipping it out and making it an article in its own right.

People with actual editorial experience will probably find what follows naïve, at best. Read on at your peril.
