Same for MacUser.  There are more than one company, BTW, and not all
carry all magazines.  In the book store they'll have some others.

Also (a tactic I learned from dealing with Outside magazine), when they
contact you for a renewal, they will start with their regular price and
eventually get to a special renewal offer.  Neither of which is as
low as the educational price.  If you send them a letter or call,
telling them you can get a new subscription for the educational price,
they will allow you to resubscribe for the educational price.  You do
have to mention a school, so this should only be valid if you're a
student, staff, or faculty member (or willing to deceive).
