It is definitely not worth $300 (to me) but then I must have received, at least, 5 or 6 free offers (no idea how you get on those magic mailing-lists, other than working in the computer-field long enough) Of, course, as a weekly you have to pay for mailing costs - and unless you get it by air, it would not be worth it probably. (yes, $300 include shipping by air; US rates are $3.50 cover, $5 sinle back-issue, $75 yearly sub, $150 for Canada/Mexico) And unless you are interested in the weekly rumour mill you may not find it worthwhile anyway. In toto, I'm sad to see MacinTouch disappear, but I'm glad those folks have found a place where they can make a living - and yes, I find scanning MacWeek worthwhile during the lunch-break. -- kraut@ngp.utexas.edu
