You probably already know that Pinnacle Publishing, the company that publishes FoxTalk 2.0 was sold earlier this year to Eli Research. You probably have seen postings from Andy Kramek and Marcia Akins that they are moving their column to Advisor Guide to Visual FoxPro. Today I got the June issue of FoxTalk 2.0 and it comes with changes brought to it by Eli Research. A few things caught my eye in the new layout...none of which I like. First, there seems to be fewer pages. Granted, that could be due to a lack of material rather than a decision from the new owner. Second, the article titles use a smaller font and are easy to miss. Finally, the content has changed to a three-column layout. In my first reading of an article, I found it more difficult to read. However, one good thing is the bullet points at the beginning of an article that lets you see at a glance what the article is about. If you're a FoxTalk 2.0 subscriber, be sure to fill out the online survey. The link is in the "Editor's Note" on the back cover.
