This makes no sense, but it's still true. 

I originally had a free subscription to Macintosh Today. A while later,
I was told I didn't qualify for a free subscription, but for a mere $75...
(who are THEY kidding. I complain about how much MacUser costs...).

Anyway, I filled out a new free subscription form. They turned me down.

Just for the hell of it, I turned in a form via my work address here at 
Sun. I got my first copy of the free subscription yesterday.

As a small business owner who owns multiple Mac's, a laserwriter and a
network, has been spending a couple of thousand a year on the systems for
the last couple of years, and writes in the trade magazines about the
Macintosh, I don't qualify for a subscription.

As a tech support person with no Mac's (but a bunch of Suns), no buying
authority and no real direct contact with the Macintosh market, I get a free
subscription.

I'm not complaining, mind you. But I find this amusing as all get out. I
wonder what the Macintosh Today advertisers are really getting for their
dollars?
