- IMHO ther are four major mags out ther.
-
- 1) PC Magazine lots of adds some articals mostly about IBM stype PCs
- 2) PC Worls - less adds more articals about IBM type PCs
- 3) PC Connection - still less adds, more articals for non-power users
- still IBM type PCs
- 4) Byte - medium adds, covers most type PC (Mac, Amiga, IBM, specials)
-
- I know that there are other mags that specialize for Macs, unix, etc
- but these are the best (I subscribe to all four)
