- Yes, you really need to decide for yourself which publication is for
- you.
-
- I find that MacWorld is really obsessed with graphics and publishing.
- Which is fine for me since that is what I'm interested in. For some
- of my programming friends, this is the reason why they stay away from
- it.
-
- I really think you should take a look at both magazines and find the
- one that fits your interests. Everyone on the net will have a
- varied opion and you will still be unsure which magazine to look at.
