While I am not an Apple Employee, and thus have nothing to defend, let me
ask how you can equate Nibble, Dr. Dobbs and others to the costs involved
with develop?? Do the other publications come with a CD-ROM included
in the price of each issue?? Heck, $30 is a fair price for 4 CD-ROM's
without a printed magazine, don't you think?? Have you mastered or pressed
a CD-ROM lately? Do you have any idea of the costs involved in that??
