]Recently discussion about Net vs. magazines remind me of my
]unpleasant experience with Byte magazine. I subscribed to it two
]years ago, but only received one issue. After I found out the check
]was cashed, I wrote them twice- never receive a reply. I think Byte
]was taking chance that small subscriber like me will never take
]legal action against them for the little subscription fee(to them at
]least). They were right; as a result, I have never purchased a
]single issue of Byte again.
Twice in the past I have started subscriptions with Byte,
and both times I was shortchanged three issues the first
year.
