Hey folks,

In this day and age of "serving you since February!" I thought I'd mention
quickly that as of April 16th, TidBITS has been published weekly for eight
years on the Internet. So far we've heard of only one other regularly
published, edited publication that has been published solely online for
longer (The Irish Emigrant, which started in 1987
(http://www.iol.ie/emigrant/)).

During these 8 years and 425 issues of reporting on topics of interest to
the Macintosh Internet community, TidBITS has amassed over 68,000 readers
in some 120 countries. Below are some subscription numbers for selected
top-level domains and ISPs from our primary mailing list that you might
find interesting.
