In April 1986 Gary Kaplan, publisher of 99er/Home Computer Magazine, informed
subscribers that his company would not honor its obligations to subscribers and deliver
the number of issues paid for by long term subscriptions. He did it this way:
Customers were notified that the ôoldö magazine, Home Computer Magazine, had ceased
publication publication to be replaced with a ônewö magazine called Home Computer
Journal. The value of the ônewö magazine was designated as $25 per issue! Thus, one
issue of the ônewö magazine wiped out the monitary value of everybodyÆs long term 99er
subscription.
Many complained to the US Post Office and the local Oregon authorities. Only a very
few, including myself, were able to obtain a full cash refund for the unfulfilled portion of
our 99er/Home Computer Magazine subscriptions.
