visi.com</a> I wonder if BOB GUCCIONE<br>> has these problems!<br><br>Probably Issue 10 as in "issued in October, being the 10th month", so<br>this is more of an id than it is a sequential index number. Just like
<br>a social security number of 123-45-6789 does not mean you are the<br>123,456,789th human born since the beginning of the SS system.<br><br>But I grant that Issue number does have some connotation of sequence<br>to it, and if the next issue is something like 2 or 8, or really
<br>anything other than 11, now THAT would be silly. And I'm sure that in<br>the future, when people are trying to amass the complete set of Python<br>Magazines, they'll wonder why those issues 1-9 of the first volume are
<br>so hard to come by.<br><br>But I suspect that, come January, we will see the release of Vol 2,<br>Issue 1. Just an artifact of having the first issue come out in some<br>month other than January.<br><br>-- Paul<br><br>
