[comp.sys.mac] Whither MacWeek?

c8s-an@franny.Berkeley.EDU (Alex Lau) (09/13/89)

MacWEEK has been on vacation for Labor Day, and it is
back this week. If you read the fine print, it says it
only comes out 44 times per year, and it is really
called MacMostWEEKS.

Same here...I wondered about this, until I picked up the last issue I
received (Vol 3. No. 31, dated 22 Aug).  On the bottom of page three,
there's a very small box that says: "To our readers: MacWeek will not
be published next week.  We will return Sept. 12."  If course, this is
a bit odd in that the gap between Aug 22 and Sept 12 is *two* issues
-- Aug 29 and Sept 5 -- not one.  But anyway, hopefully they will
resume publication this week.

I had wondered the same thing, and wondered if I had fallen from favor.
But alas, yesterday I got the latest issue!

MacWeek was not published last week because of labor day. There was a small 
note on the second page of the previous issue noting that the next issue 
would be Sept. 12. Sure enough, my Sept. 12 issue arrived yesterday. Yours
is probably snail-ing it's way to you at this very moment.

*sigh*  It never fails -- 30 minutes after I posted, it arrived.  Cancelled
the Usenet article immediately, but... argh!
