Looking at the September issue (436 pages), I'd guess that about 20% of the material (such as the ISP review they're planning to make a regular feature) is of little interest outside Germany. The ads are even less interesting, but I suppose they could find other advertisers for an international edition. Don't expect everything to be of interest, of course. A lot of the editorial content is related to Microsoft. In fact, they have a sister publication, iX, which deals with UNIX, but it's not nearly of the same quality as c't. Greg
