Ooh.  This one *definitely* sounds interesting.  I can see why you'd want a copy...

Mix is still going strong?  Good!  I haven't seen an ad from them in ages, 
but then I don't buy magazines that'd carry their ads anything like I used

Do you have any thoughts about how portable some of their stuff might be to
