- | I got a postcard from the publishing company. They are giving all

- I phoned as well and told them I had no use for PC World, that it would cost
- me the effort of picking it up from my post office box and taking it to the
- recycling center without giving me any information I could use, and I would-
- n't accept a subscription even as a gift. The customer service representa-
- tive told me there would be a Commodore section (a shadow of Run just as the
- Gazette section of Compute is a shadow of Compute's Gazette). She said that
- our subscriptions would begin with the March, 1993, issue (they were being
- held back until the Commodore section began); that Run subscribers who were
- already receiving PC World would be switched the Commodore edition; and that
- they were asking Run subscribers to wait for one issue to decide whether we
- liked it before we cancel.
