Due to a silly error on my part, I bought a copy of a MacWorld that I
already had received through the mail (as part of a free promotional
subscription for buying a Mac).  To my surprise I noticed that there
was an interesting difference between the subscription version and the
grocery store version of the magazine.  They are both the exact same
issue--March, 1987 "The Mac Goes Hollywood".  The one I bought in the
grocery store has a bar code in the lower left corner, and the price
marked is $2.95.  The one I received through the mail has no bar code
and the price is marked as $3.95.  I then decided to compare the
subscription offers in the two magazines.  Lo and behold, the $2.95
grocery store version offers a one year subscription for "$19.95--a
savings of $15.45 off the annual cover price of $35.40."  The $3.95
subscription version offers one year for "only $24.00--a $23.40 savings
off the annual cover price of $47.40!!!!!"

Gee, I guess I'd better pay $24.00 so's I can save $23.40, instead of
paying $19.95 and only saving a measly $15.45!!!!

What sleazeballs these MacWorld people are--they're cheating their
faithful subscribers by making them think that they're getting a better
deal than they really a.
