- well, look at your alternatives: Macworld and MacUser magazines.
-
- Those rags have gotten so bad with advertising that I've let my subscriptions
- lapse. I'll try to pick them up in the library to read Steven Levy and Andy
- Ihnatko, but otherwise I'll let them go.

- Last week I picked up my car magazines. Car and Driver doesn't see the
- absolute need to stuff 5 catalogs full of ads into every issue, and neither
- does Road & Track. And yet, the car is every bit as entrenched into our
- society--nay, more so--than the computer.
-
- No, at $99/year, I think MacWEEK deserves a look-see. True, it's for only 42
- issues (compared to 50 or so for its sister PCWeek). But it's as full of
- information, if not fuller than, the two main monthlies, and without the
- tremendous amount of crap advertising. Plus, the advertising that's in there
- is much more timely.
-
- Does anyone remember MACazine? That was my favorite. I picked up a very old
- issue, and came across a tip that I never knew or remembered. Thanks, Bob.
- It was a good time...
