A note on the thickness of [Mac] magazines: To be honest, I was never thrilled with either of the big two Mac magazines (MacWorld/User). Most of the issues dealt with rebuilding the desktop (odd issues) or Photoshop (even issues) -- two things I could care less about. Not to mention that they were mostly ads...I had an educational subscription for a while ($10 a year), but I let it run out out of boredom. On a similar note, I applied for a free subscription to MacLeak (I think most of them were free). It never came through, but around the same time, I discovered MacWeek online (3-4 years ago). I thought: why subscribe? Given the 2-3 month lag of print media, I think that the internet has rendered print magazines largely irrelevant. This is not a Mac issue, but a publishing issue. From auto racing to computer magazines, I have let every subscription expire (even AutoWeek lags behind the internet by more than a week). Why subscribe when you can read it for free (assuming you already have a computer) and in a more timely manner on the internet? The only magazine I currently subscribe to is The Economist. -Matt
