I just got the same except it was from Popular Computing....
I just wrote on the bill: I did not order this--cancel subscription.

You are NEVER obligated to pay for unordered merchandise that arrives via US mail -- whether it is magazines, veg-o-matics, or turnip snizzlers. If you feel civil yet, you can return the bill with an note explaining you never ordered or subscribed. If you don't feel particularly civil, that's not absolutely necessary, but they will probably pester you until you DO send them a note to that effect. It would seem to be much more effective to send a note saying "no thank you, but thanks for the gifts!". Rick Lindsley disclaimer: neither a lawyer nor a borrower be

Unless my memory has failed, Pop Computing went under a couple of months ago. In which case you won't get any free mags. But then, that's better than not getting the issues that you were expected to pay for :-) -- Doug Pardee -- CalComp -- {hardy,savax,seismo,decvax,ihnp4}!terak!doug
