Agreed. I asked for a "free" sample issue, and then sent them a nice letter explaining, that while the magazine was nice, it was not worth the money for 6 issues a year, especially since I get most all my magazines for free. I have since received 4 letters from tehm demanding payment, and have attempted to call to no avail. I will not stand for this harassment! I only wanted to see the magazine, not subscribe. It is nice, but not worth the money, especially when NeXT hands out issues at the NUG here (at least they did last time).
