It'd be the one trade mag I'd actually sit down and read. An important point was raised earlier. We can have a glossy rag with a lot of cigarette, beer and SUV ads or we can pay (a lot) more for one which is actually mostly content.

If I get one useful idea out of every 2 issues, that's money in the bank! I'm sure our collective batting average would be better than that, so I'd be in the black with no trouble on a subscription. :-) -- Donald Wilde "Linking Minds and Micros" ================= S i l v e r L y n x =================== PMB 117, 1380 Rio Rancho Blvd SE v: 505-771-0709 f: 771-1356 Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87124 web: http://www.Silver-Lynx.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
