  Speaking of apparent false advertising,
    I sent in the subscription card for MIPS (new magazine dedicated to high-
performance computers / workstations). The "charter subscriber" offer included
a moneyback guarantee during the subscription period, and NOWHERE in the ad or
on the card was Canada  mentioned (as in "add $10 for subscriptions to Canada"
or "Offer is not valid in Canada").
    MIPS thanked me for my inquiry about their subscription rates to Canada,
and ignored my attempt to utilize the special offer for charter subscribers.
Did anyone else waste a stamp on this sham ??
