In the past 6 months, both MacWorld and MacUser have added a considerable
number of advertising pages.  They are both are now about 400 pages.  Up to
Byte size.  They take up a lot of space on my bookshelf and take longer to
read because there are more pages to turn.  There is still some useful
information, however.

Macazine continues to be fairly thin and mostly articles as opposed to ads.
I tend to find that there is less useful information in Macazine than the
other two.

If I could only subscribe to one, it would be MacUser.  But this is not
a strong endorsement of the magazine.
