  from this it should be ovious that they don't *REALLY* sell this rag ..(-:

	nope, not on diskette, it's a rag like Infoworld, which is sent free
	to most industry-people.  It is definitely not worth $300 (to me)
	but then I must have received, at least, 5 or 6 free offers (no idea
	how you get on those magic mailing-lists, other than working in the
	computer-field long enough)  Of, course, as a weekly you have to pay for
	mailing costs - and unless you get it by air, it would not be worth
	it probably.  (yes, $300  include shipping by air; US rates are $3.50
	cover, $5 sinle back-issue, $75 yearly sub, $150 for Canada/Mexico)
	And unless you are interested in the weekly rumour mill
	you may not find it worthwhile anyway.

	In toto, I'm sad to see MacinTouch disappear, but I'm glad those folks
	have found a place where they can make a living - and yes, I find
	scanning MacWeek worthwhile during the lunch-break.
