Just got my April Amiga World and I see in the editor credits on pg 4 that
there is no mention of Lou Wallace. Seems to me he had a pretty lofty status
at AW (almost editor-in-chief).

Anyone know what's happened to Lou?

Just curious,

John

He probably got in trouble for letting the OnLineScan article get out, wherein
we were told how to compress those big old .GIF files for easier transfer.
The author must have never tried it, since he would have discovered that GIF
files are *ALREADY* compressed and little will be gained by YAPTACP (yet
another pass through a compressor program). I believe the same is true for
.JPG files, although I'm not certain.

I talked to him at Orlando DevCon; He's the head of Desktop Video World now.
Linda Laflamme has also gone over there.

Well, it is true I have left Amiga World. This actually happened about
six months ago when I was made Editor In Chief of Desktop Video World,
the newest member of the IDG magazine family. DTV World is published by
Tech Media, the same IDG group that publishes AW. (So in one sense I
am sstill involved with AW, although only on the edges...)

Desktop Video World is a multiplatform applications magazine that
covers Desktop Video, Multimedia, Animation - from the computer
based video point of view.

The first issue was released in early January 1993, and the second issue
has just shipped to subscribers and news stands. For the remainder
of our fiscal year (which ends Sept 30) we will be bi-monthly.

And you win this week's prize for responding to a 30 year old post.
And you get the prize of too many floppy disks, 3.5 inch version.
And is he still working? On a published magazine? on news stands?
