Traditionally, nearly all periodicals are "thin" during the first quarter of
the year. The difference is especially noticeable when you go from the biggest
issue of the year in December to the thinnest issue in January. This happens
with computer magazines and the local newspaper alike -- people just don't
have the money to buy much in January, so there isn't much advertising.

Dan Muse at inCider told me a couple of days ago that the magazine is very
healthy from a financial standpoint. In fact, he's planning to extend
coverage, with more hands-on articles.
