The point re Byte's bag is moot - they have gone to sticking the label directly on the cover. Not such a great loss since Tinney no longer does the covers, though. To answer the question as to why plastic: magazines such as Byte went from a paper sleeve to a plastic bag in order to allow the packaging of separate catalogs (e.g. Jameco, JDR) in the same mailing. It is a marketing ploy that is not appreciated by many. The last issue I noticed of each was sent with a simple label on cover, though... -- * Charles Lord ..!decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!cjl Usenet (old) * * Cary, NC cjl@ecsvax.UUCP Usenet (new) * * #include <std.disclamers> cjl@ecsvax.BITNET Bitnet * * #include <cutsey.quote> cjl@ecsvax.uncecs.edu Internet *
