He was happy that all of his treasured Amigas were going
to a safe home. I was more than happy to oblige.

We had developed a friendship through Amibench and 
yesterday was the first time we had actually met. 

Thanks to Chris... A treasured Amigan. 

PS: He did keep his A4000 and A1200 Workhorses that he
uses daily. After all he is an Amigan

The Worlds Most Black and White Amiga Magazine


Collecting Amiga kit never ceases to amaze me as to what
turns up that is totally new to me. Take the monthly
magazine Just Amiga. It ran for 58 editions and yet
has never ever turned up amongst the many thousands
of magazines I have collected. I have the full set of
58 plus quite a few number of seconds. 

The article below from Amigamags UK best sums up the mag

Quote from www.magazines.ch/amigamagsuk

"JAM was a rather good, subscription only magazine called
Just Amiga Monthly. It ran to 58 editions (mostly monthly) 
and was produced by Jeff Walker with contributions from the 
readers. It was a magazine that dealt exclusively with the 
serious side of the Amiga and did not cover any games. It 
was billed as "The Worlds most Black And White Amiga Magazine"

It was produced entirely on an Amiga, using normal Amiga 
programs. It was printed commercially and in my opinion one 
of the very best Amiga magazines ever produced. It folded 
when Jeff no longer had the time to carry on.

It was taken over by Larry Hickmot and incorporated into EM 
another subscription only magazine, this time concentrating 
on desktop publishing. Jam was the first magazine in the UK 
to run regular items about AMINET and review programs from 
the archive. It issued the final edition in December 1995. "
