I subscribe to all three, although I just started Macazine.  Someone posted
a comparison of all three using (I believe) percent of the magazine devoted
to articles versus advertisements. Macazine won.

However, I don't understand all the complaints against the ads.  That's one
of my major reasons for reading the magazines. Many people ask questions on
the net about what's available and guess where the answers are?

Who cares if one is thicker because of ads.  They all cost about the same.
