- Although I stopped subscribing to any computer magazine a long time

- buy a copy of PC mag.

- "Plentiful" ads do not necessarily translate to "good". To me, it
- seems that many of the companies that people complain about in
- comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware advertise in Computer Shopper and not in PC Mag
- (not that PC Mag doesn't contain any).
