According to the www.byte.com web site McGraw Hill sold the magazine
to CMP Media, who do the various Windows magazines.  They say they'll
begin republishing in Fall (whenever the hell that is) and when they
subscribers will get the magazines we're owed.

Is it just me or does this stink?  I payed for my subscription a couple
of years in advance, figuring McGraw Hill was a reputable company.
Now someone gets to keep my money, take a holiday, and figure they
can give me what I paid for whenever they decide to resume business?
It also stinks they send out notification to their readers;
If McGraw Hill went out of business it would be one thing, but
they didn't.  They apparently just sold off their subscribers
and let it be someone elses problem.
