Hi
I should say that I'm a bit worried to only got 4 versions of Squeak news. I imagine that lot of people payed it and that at the end this was a not so pleasant situation.
Tansel have you **real** plans for the future. How can we believe in you in the future? I can understand that the situation was bad what so ever but now the net result is that nobody else can even try to do the same. So what are your plans , situation...

I've been wondering the same thing.
The last news I recall from Tansel was that he was on military service in Turkey but expected to have SN back in production by September of last year. The SqueakNews website says it's coming back "better than ever" in March, but that page was posted on September 14, 2002, and has not been updated since. Frankly, I'm far more concerned about Tansel's wellbeing than about the subscription fee, but I'd love to see his excellent work and his fine publication carry on.

Nicely said!
I hope that Tansel is doing well, and look forward to his future contributions. As for the past, I am very happy with the SqueakNews editions that I received. I consider it money very well spent regardless of what may happen in the future.
Tansel, thanks for your excellent work.
