   As far as I know, no.  No disk doesn't make much sense since there
   will be few listings in the magazine itself.

No disk makes lots of sense on a $ basis. There wasn't anything on the
first issues disk that was even worth looking at.

At around $5, the first issue (sans disk) would have been a good buy,
and I probably would have subscribed. At $16, I feel ripped off, and
will only buy one if it's got several articles of high interest, or
something relevant to what I'm currently working on.

I've already written a letter to the editor suggesting they offer a
diskless version, and make the disk available to buyers of that
version for extra $'s.
