Not quite what you meant, eh, Chuq?  Pulling a punch is holding back.  Just
a nit...anyway, I agree with you more and more, and share your concern that
they "stay honest."  Of course, there was a day when MacUser was playing
catch-up and they had more substance.  Then Z-D bought 'em...sigh...

I have to disagree here, but then, I write a lot of Mac code.  MacTutor is
Macintosh Tech Notes for The Rest of Us.  There was a funny incident at
the '88 Apple Spring Developer conference: when Dave Smith (MacTutor's
founder and editor) tried to ask a question in one session, the moderator
(who shall remain nameless) said "no questions from the press."  The rowdy
reaction from the floor was "that's not press, that's MacTutor!"
Dave's question was allowed...
