Re: magazines distributed by electronic means

There is a host of purely electronic 'newspapers' around: periodical
and aperiodical. I even know of one that appears daily: several people
at Warsaw University in Poland about a year ago started a daily news
bulletin covering the current events there. The distribution is
exclusively by e-mail. Initially their recipients were Polish
researchers temporarily abroad, but lately more and more people with
interest in Eastern European affairs started reading it, especially
since the English translation became available.
 This initiative is a non-profit thing, with no fee charged. However,
with proliferation of commercial networks, I imagine there will be
more and more specialized news services like that, with the result
that everyone will be able to tailor their news selection to their
taste, in effect being able to customize the news they are getting. I
tend to rip the ads (and articles about Intel 80x86 :^) from the
magazines I get right after I get them, to make it easier to leaf thru
them. Why not do that electronically?
