Obviously there's something differentabout this issue

ofCommodore World. Nomistaking thatthecoverhas

gonefromfull-color to shades ofgray. But internally

we have revamped things as well. Financial reality

has meant either raising prices, or cutting costs.

Since we're reluctant to charge more for the

publication, we've targeted some areas of the

publication which wefelt would have the least impact

on the quality ofthe information provided.

We started by removing colorfrom the cover, then

reducedpagecountbyremoving the Trivaandsomeof

the CMD advertising. This didn '1 get us down quite as

farasnecessary, so we 've lostsome editorial space as

well in this issue. However, some addtional shuffling

andredesigning ofcertain pages willbe completedfor

our next issue to regain that room.

All ofthis might leadyou to wonderjust how much

longerCommodore World will last. As we'vestaled in

thepast, it is our intention to maintain thepublication

as long as possible by taking the necessary steps

required to make this happen. The changes in this

issue are an indication ofus doingjust that—insuring

the magazine's longevity instead ofdropping it when

it is no longerprofitable. To that end, we hope you'II

understandthat thechangestakingplacearenecessary.

And once the costs are under better control, we'll be

abletotakeadditionalsteps toimprovethediversityof

the content and regularity ofpublication.
