<p>MacTech is now in its 22nd year of print publication. Each and every month<br />
in MacTech readers find in-depth coverage and how-to articles for techs, IT<br />
professionals, power users and Mac developers.</p>
<p>Unlike many magazines that tell you what you *can* do, MacTech shows you<br />
*how* to make the most of your Mac. MacTech's approach has always been<br />
that of "How-to" as opposed to the "You can do this" articles in other<br />
publications.</p>
<p>"Now everyone can get a look at MacTech," said Neil Ticktin,<br />
Editor-in-Chief & Publisher of MacTech Magazine. "MacTech has a long<br />
reputation of being the place of where those in the know 'cut their teeth'.<br />
With insightful articles from experts catering to everyone that is<br />
technical on the Mac, MacTech is the place to learn."</p>
<p>Qualified IT Pros Can Apply for Complimentary Subscriptions</p>
<p>MacTech is normally $8.95 per issue on the newsstand, but... The Macintosh<br />
Business Unit at Microsoft is sponsoring a limited number of complimentary<br />
subscriptions for qualified IT professionals. Select individuals just pay a<br />
shipping and handling charge of $9.95 to receive MacTech monthly for six<br />
