 If you are looking for really cheap magazine subscriptions, nip on
 over to the local college and inspect the bulletin boards in the 
 classrooms.  Every school I've seen invariably has posters stuck
 up by roving reps on things such as trips to europe, american
 express, and magazine subscriptions.  The current ones we have
 here have the following prices:  Byte: 1 yr/$18.95; Mac World:
 1 yr/$15.00; Mac User: 1/yr $14.97.  The outfit whose card I'm 
 reading is American educational services out of Langing, Mich.
 They guarantee their rates, and if you can find, so they say,
 a lower one, they will refund your entire subscription price
 so that your subscription with them is free.  Don't know if
 they will really do this or not, though.  

 Interestingly enough, I also have the renewal on my MacUser
 sub on my desk at the same time, and it is 1yr/$24.97.  I would
 say that a 40% discount ($14.97 vs. $24.97) might make it worthwhile
 to take a look.

 Presumably these rates are for students and educators only, but as
 they are using state property (ie, buildings and bulletin boards)
 for private gain, it would seem that the point would be moot...

 I'm not associated with this company...usual disclaimers.
