I continue to get MacWorld as a "reference" work -- I need opinions about a
product, check out their year-end indenx and look it up (I also really like
Borrell and Steven Levy's columns -- the latter is, I think, the best Mac
columnist around).  And I get MacWeek for free for upgrade/new product
announcements, gossip, and especially the Rick and Ric Show (i.e. MacInTouch
column).  MacUser has drifted into a compendium of gibberish; I liked it
much better than MacWorld, but just before the weeklies came along, they
began to disintegrate.  Whether or not Rupert Murdoch buying Ziff-Davis has
anything to do with this... well, no cheesecake photos on the covers yet.
After sending me 60,000 renewal notices, they finally sent me an issue that
says THIS IS YOUR LAST ISSUE!!! on the cover.  I sent their reply mail back
saying, "Is that a promise?"

Macazine is also rather scattered in its information, though it doesn't have
the offensive air of MacUser; I'm just tired of the "homey happy bunch o'
folk" atmosphere.  It does a very good job on technical reviews, though.

                           "Guess what I'm in for."
                                                     "Uhh..."
                           "Wait!  I'll give you a
                            hint..."
