Highlights
Production stack disclosed
Pi's tooling: Mac SE/30 + HP DeskWriter (the inkjet they reviewed in 1989-11 — V11 N11) + Publishers Service Bureau outside typesetting. PageMaker 4.01 was just released. Switch from earlier Mac IIfx production (1990-07 — V12 N07) is interesting — perhaps the SE/30 with virtual memory was sufficient.
Editorial Staff
"Apple II Editor: Desperately Needed" — Pi's Apple II coverage shrinking as the platform declines. Mac side is fully staffed.
Annual dues $39
Up from earlier dues; $31 of $39 is journal subscription.
Apple II Disk Library: John Ruffato
New Apple II disketeria coordinator.
