That magazine was pretty horrible honestly. I had a free subscription and after awhile tended to throw them away as soon as I got them. RIP though I suppose.
Good thing I have my other magazines while I am visiting my daily office.
What a bummer. First retail stores crumble, now magazines are withering away.
Sounds like PC Magazine has found a new way to distribute their magazine. This new method of distribution sounds like a great idea, but I don't understand why they're not printing the magazine as well.
thanks from Tony
This magazine used to rock, but went seriously downhill in the last few years. It became a bland consumer electronics advisor rather than a true PC magazine. Also, the amount of content shrunk tremendously. In the past year I could read the entire issue in the time it took to take one decent crap.
Yeah, PC World was pretty well cleaning their clock!
Coincidence: I was cleaning out old issues from the late 90s and noticed how much thinner the recent ones are. Recalled that the same thing happened to Byte magazine - got thinner and thinner and then - poof!
How can I get my money back? I just re-subscribed but don't want online-only.
Definitely garbage. 89 % of the magazine are adds and product reviews. Wired is much better!!!
I cancelled mine a few years ago, when they were automatically going to renew my subscription and told me I owed them money. I cancelled 3 months before my subscription was due to expire, due to their unethical business practices.
That's interesting. I guess I won't be receiving anymore free issues from them.
Not much of a loss. The quality of PC magazine is far behind C't magazine.

People's tastes change, if they want to stay in business they'd better comply. They started when a PC/Laptop was above $3000, so benchmarking is no longer needed now, what is needed is decent editorial to solve the puzzle of the whole digital thing.
I'm not surprised. My Dad turned me on to Maximum PC a year ago - much better mag IMHO
Wired magazine is really good, only $10 per year - but not very PC-centric
this mag was pretty terrible. no tears shed over here.
Maximum PC whips this rag 6 ways from sunday
I think the real news is that there are actually still print magazines about computers. Must be for those who can't figure out how to use them properly :)
