There was a recent NYT newswire article about this. (which I cant
remail due to copyright restrictions).  Basically there is currently a
major shakedown going on in the computer magazine publishing industry.
There are just too many damned magazines (estimates run about 200
seperate mags) to attract enough advertizing dollars to each one to
allow them to remain in business.  Some magazines have circulations
of less than 1000, most are losing money.  Experts agree that at
least a dozen computer magazines will survive (6%).  For example,
BYTE is doing quite well.
