I received a complimentary copy of the first issue.  I'm not sure why
I've kept it.  Hopefully it has gotten better (first issues of most 
everything are usually the worst)

Issue #1, January/February 1991:  8pp, badly laid-out B/W w/ blue spot color

Front article "What is CyberEdge Journal" with subheadings such as
Hello
Infinite Variety
Talking Cows
     "in the late 90's? You like to swim? how about an aquarium/workspace?
      You're the top Orca, your data represented as guppies and the programs
      as sharks.  You want talking cows?  You got it!"
Does it do WordPerfect

that occupies two of the pages.

A five-page report of the first VR conference fills the middle and last 
pages, and the remaining page lists four companies with products and 
contacts.  12 upcoming events listed in sidebars, along with a five-minute
conversation with Ted Nelson.  My own notes from the Dec. 1990 conference
were more detailed.  Perhaps someone with a more recent copy can tell us
how it has improved over the last year.
