Cool First Issue of TWP Magazine launches!

No, this is NOT an April Fools joke, this is the real deal.

Tony (2-8-2 here on the forums) came up with the idea of an official TWP magazine months ago and asked if it was ok to pursue the idea. After some discussion on it, I decided that it would be a great idea and told him to run with it. Well, today, I was sent the first issue, and WOW it is outstanding. I want to to personally thank Tony for taking on this project and I think we all owe him a great deal of thanks for the job he has done with the design of it.

We also owe a great deal of thanks to the contributors of the article, as with this site, without them there wouldn't be any content!

I could not be any happier with how this magazine turned out. In my mind it is perfect!

Without any further ado... check it out for yourself below!

Enjoy!

LOL! I didn't even think of that when launching it on April Fool's Day.

I didn't like it at all, it was so great I loved it! Professional job Tony from start to finish. My wife & JR loved it as well of coarse she is a DJ fan & she has always liked MikeC's snow. Thanks again on a very fine job Tony.

Talking For a one man band, you play a catchy tune!

Most impressive, Tony, thank you for making such a nice, easily readable, and enjoyable "magazine" with the great pics and articles. If you need help with the editing, (like you asked for) just PM me!!

Fantastic job! I'm a graphics person and I must say the graphics were top notch. You had me wondering several times, "How'd he do that?" Well done.

Excellent work! Looks great, interesting and useful articles. The illustrations are great. Top notch job.

The only down side is we have to wait until Aug for another.
