Dennis, I know you struggled mightily to keep your UnderColor Magazine
going.  But what does this last sentence mean about "destruction of our
work"?  Are these details OK to discuss?  I'd love to hear more.

I am currently reading UnderColor, Issues 1-5.  I owned all the later
issues and just acquired these from eBay to complete my collection.  Really
fun stuff in these older issues.  Lots of rumors about the new "Color
Computer '09".

Thanks!
