I certainly did not wish to imply anything of the sort. I simply pointed
out that many, if not few, people are not willing to pay for anything related
to the GS( and other computers). The magazines have to make a living. I
buy some, I'm sure you might have,etc...but I'm certain that you've seen
lot's of people standing around reading them cover to cover, and not
paying for the information( be it on hard drives or otherwise) they obtain.
It simply means that the magazines are either priced higher than they
would otherwise be or they are put into plastic jackets and that prevents
legitimate browsing. The same thing holds for software.
