...just to avoid the impression that there is a lack of support for MacTutor,
with all its glorious shortcomings -

there isn't anything better, and it's difficult to imagine that there
could be anything better for the money, given the specialized market.

no reason not to improve (and I'm sure the MacTutor folks work hard on
giving the best value they can), and no reason not to criticize (and I'm
as likely to scream in agony as the next guy when I get bit by a bug),
but let's not beat our best cow because she doesn't give more milk ...

BTW, why don't Apple support such a valuable magazine with some paid
columns directed to developers ????  I'd even be willing to stare at some
hype-advertisements if it helps MacTutor to pay their bills and stay in
business.   Heck, the BCS-published magazine I just read had a 4-page
glossy from IBM (among others) and I was not insulted nor worried that this
would influence the coverage of IBM-products ...
