Subject: FREE (it's not) MAGAZINE SUPERCOMPUTER

Readers:  

IT's NOT free. I fell for this one, dialed up the modem, made the connection,
answered the appropriate questions, hung up and thought, well I have a free
subscription now.

Imagine my surprise about 4 weeks later, no magazine, but a bill for $56.

Let the reader beware!

Randall - it's no ripoff. It's probably one of those "try a trial subscription
and if you don't like it, write 'cancel' on the bill and return it...keep the
issues with our compliments" offers.

Wait a while before complaining...if you don't get an issue within say, 30
days (the usual 4-week turnaround time for these things), THEN complain!
