Boardwatch was a pretty cool magazine, but their bbs reviews really seemed to 
favor majorbbs, and searchlight boards

not too surprising on fidonet.. I didn't really ever like it, was too busy for 
someone that had a job/life to keep up with, was "real names only" which was 
somewhat odd to me.. and on the flip side, they pretty much established bbs 
message networking tech...  Boardwatch was a cool mag, but wasn't "great" by 
any means, and definately gave favor to board reviews for those that ran their 
heavy advertiser's software.
