Say, does anyone here know the whereabouts of a UK magazine called
MacAction?  I was picking it up from a local newstand up to about a year
ago before I moved. Couldn't find it in any of the news shops after
that.  It's a great zine but it's been a mystery to me where to locate
it after all this time.  It got me into Marathon in the first place.
Did it die on the vine or something?  Anybody...?

It did indeed die a death..  Shame, it was a reasonable mag.  :-(

Yes, I'm sorry to tell you that the brilliant magazine died 
a soft death about a year ago. - I miss it too : (

PS: Do anyone know of another magazine like it?

Does anyone know the whereabouts of the guy that used to run that
magazine?  I think his name was Vic Lennard or something like that.
