FLASH:

Just back from beneath the sea and a LONG chat with Cathy Cush.
Your suggestion is just what we were talking about.
She is looking into some very interesting forms of producing a new journal.
The demise of UW/USA had to do with a LOT of politics, and not the failure
of the magazine. In fact it was doing better than it had in quite some time
from a finacial perspective.

But, there is a good chance that an entirley new product will be coming
forth in the near future.

What do you think of an electronic dive mag??

A WWW site?
Daily E-Mails.
Weekly short journal mailings
Morning faxes of the latest news....
