Yup - MacWorld did the same thing to me, and went one better! They sent me a form saying you qualify for a FREE subscription. I filled it out and sent it back. After about 2 issues, I got a bill. I wrote "I don't want this if I have to pay for it" and mailed it back. They keep sending bills (which I am now officially ignoring) even though they've escalated to the "collection agency". They've stopped sending magazines. And guess what! Just the other day, I got another letter saying that I qualify for a free subscription! Maybe if I threaten to write a letter to MacUser, MacWorld will get around to fixing this? Al Lehotsky
