- Unfortunately, the only widely available Mac monthlies are MacWorld and
- MacUser. There perhaps SHOULD be a business-oriented one, but there is not at
- this point any that could substitute for either. I think the business user is
- likely to be more pleased with the orientation and depth of MU over MW, which
- tends to be more prone to error and even silly sensationalism (like a cover
- story 2 years ago on the coming crop of Mac Clones) and is often still locked
- into the concept of the business Mac being a graphics and DTP machine.
-
- That's all pretty subjective of course. Try investing the $40 or so in a year's
- subscription to both (MU goes for $19.99 or so to new subscribers, I assume MW
- does as well) and read them for a while to get a good sense of what appeals to
- you. A cursory look at one or two issues of either can be misleading. It is
- often useful to get the different views of the two.
