Mac Today was at Comdex, passing out as many applications for a free
subscription as they could.  Imagine my surprise when I got a letter from the
publishers:

	"Make the intelligent move... with your *paid* subscription to
	Macintosh Today...." (emphasis mine)

A "mere" $100 will get it for a year.  Can you say "bait-and-switch"?

Oh well, revenge is sweet.  They sent a postpaid envelope (how generous :-(),
which I could fill with heavy stuff & mail back w/o a return address....
