I noticed that my last issue of PC-Tech Journal was April 89
and my subscription expired Nov 89. I called the number in
the last magazine, only to find it disconnected. I called
Ziff Davis in New Jersey and was told the magazine was
discontinued. They gave me a number to call:
1-800-525-0643
On calling that number, a very polite young lady asked my
last name and zip code, then read my street address to me
and verified my first name. Then she told me that I have a
REFUND of $8.++ coming on my subscription and should get it
in about 4 weeks.Ralf.Brown@B.GP.CS.CMU.EDU (06/20/89)

I have yet to see my PC subscription expiration date updated - and that's AFTER I called the subscription department and explained my problem. And that's AFTER at least 3 months have passed. I have a feeling I just got taken for over 30 bucks. I should have asked for the money back (which wasn't an option, as I recall).

Yep, PC Tech Journal has bit the dust....
You should have received a notice about it a month back or so.. ZD gave
me a letter and the option of moving the unused portion of my subscription
to either PC Magazine or PC Computing. Maybe this was because I already
