It Lô¿ôKs interesting. I will sign up for the free copy, but doubt I will suscribe as it is an online mag anyway.

Go to the main page for a peek also. The "Interactive Gallery" is rather neat.

I don't believe it's just an online magazine. Though I can't find anything that would say otherwise, the sign up page says "Please allow 6 - 8 weeks for the mailing of your free issue."

Correct. I realize it is a paper subscription also. I just don't see the need to continue the subscription if much of the info will also be online. Although some magazines do make the best articles available for paper subscribers only.

I wanted to buy a first edition when heard the mag was on the stands in the UK. I looked at all the big bookstores when I happened by, but not dice. One, from the UK, characterized the mag as not very good being by the publishers of the "Official XP Magazne" or some such thing. I think I am going to pass on the sub, but thanks for the heads up.

I remembered a long while back I had a subscription to some MS magazine, I can't recall the name. Anyway, when their magazine stopped, I guess it wasn't selling well, they gave me three years of PC World magazine for free. That was worth it.

I had the same sort of thing happen with an Audio/Video mag--with the new mag being better than the old one.

I don't know if I'll keep the subscription, but at least I get to try and see what's all about. It might be all old news, but let's take it for a spin.

Right, perhaps you have noticed--all the US mags have nothing but old and often incorrect info about Vists.
