- Whether they actually went under or had a sex change
- is not clear. But it looks like what started out as
- an "add-on" feature, SUPERNET, has taken over.
-
- I think this is a very bad idea. I've even said so
- on SUPERNET, only to have my comments deleted by
- their censors.
-
- I looked forward to receiving SR every month, and
- usually read my issues at a cafe after work, or
- during lunch, or in the backyard at home.
-
- I found SUPERNETs interface to be so lame and
- retarded that I'm loathe to use it. I guess one
- could search around to find the articles you'd
- want to read, download them, print them, and then
- read them next time you go to the bathroom.
-
- But why?
-
- Its really dumb. And especially if now they are
- going to ask us to PAY for this.
-
- I would complain regarding the unused $$ of your
- subscription. Sounds to me like they are pocketing
- the cash to cover expenses.
-
- Maybe its time for some one else to pick yp the
- pieces are publish another magazine for the
- supercomputing community.
-
- How about "Supercomputer User" for starters?
- Anyone want to invest?
