- Hmm, I am currently recieving a lot of "resubscribe letters" from DR. Dobbs
- Journal. They had an issue on 32-bit programming recently, and OS/2 was no
- where to be found.
-
- I have already resubscribed though, and din't think of this. But I believe
- Brad has a good idea. If anyonedecides to no longer subscribe to a magazine
- beacuse they ignore OS/2, write them telling them so. Maybe they'll realize
- that they can get more readers being simply being fair to other products. They
- can emphasize the mainstream, but at least be fair.
-
- I myself originally believed the press in general was did not disservice OS/2
- and its users, but after going back through a lot of the stuff, I was
- convinced my original thoughts were wrong. So now I wouldn't think of
- subscribing to PC Mag, which I did consider before. I am going to give Dr. Dobbs
- another try for a year, but if they fail to mention anything about OS/2
- programming, I will do what Brad did. My only problem though, is I don't
- know of any programming journals that do consider OS/2.
