Funny story: I lent my original copy of this magazine to a friend of mine (who is no longer talking to me and claims that he no longer has the issue). So I purchased a replacement copy from eBay. That copy had a coffee stain in the first few pages and was missing about twenty pages. So I had to order a replacement issue.

This editorial addresses the fact that the magazine has decided to stop being a quarterly publication and has stepped up to being a bimonthly publication, including a snarky little note about what bimonthly means, exactly. I’m convinced that this decision was very last minute, because this is the Winter 1989 issue, which means its using the quarterly publication titles. However, the next issue is the March issue, which uses the new bimonthly schema.
