    There no longer are any Apple II magazines today, not since
GS+ and II-Alive folded (though II-Alive had silently shifted
from a magazine to newsletter format sometime before its demise).
They were both subscription only. The last newsstand magazine,
inCider/A+, went defunct way back in 1993.

    There are, however, 3 printed Apple II newsletter publications
left; all of them subscription only though, since they have a small
readership. The largest is Shareware Solutions II, a spin-off from
inCider/A+ with news and articles from former contributing editors
Joe Kohn and Cynthia Field, covering the entire Apple II spectrum.
The next is Juiced.GS published by Max Jones. It is different in
that is it focused entirely on the Apple IIgs (it is also unique
in that is has a newspaper-style of layout and writing, or at least
from the sample issue I saw before it began publication). The final
is The Apple Blossom, from Steve Cavanaugh. It began as a freeware
publication covering all Apple II's, but expanded and grew into a 
subscription newsletter. SSII and TAB are bi-monthly publications, 
while J.GS is a quartely publication.

FYI, here are a couple of corrections on url's and additions to Apple II 
publications.  TAB has a new url: 
http://people.delphi.com/appleblossom/index.html

There is also an Apple II publication online: A2-2000, published monthly 
as a freeware.  The url for it follows:

http://www.grin.net/~cturley/A2.2000/
