I've noticed that the last two issues of MacWorld haven't contained David
Bunnell's usually inane columns. In fact, he's not listed in the "credits"
as publisher. Has he been "retired"? Not that I'm complaining, mind you...
And why does Jerry Borrell's photo look like Max Headroom?

Bunnell's last column for MacWorld was the May '89 issue of MacWorld, he looks quite dreadful in the accompanying photo. It was the 1st and last time that photo was ever used, because when the June issue came out, his name and column had dissappeared w/o a trace. In MacWorld's sister publication PC World he also wrote a column, and coincidentally the May issue of this magazine was also his last. Somewhat more openly but still enigmatically it was mentioned in the magazine that that column would be his last, the contents section said something about him embarking on a new project or going in a new direction or some such blather. I have my own theory which I'll keep to myself. But enquiring minds want to know... //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Internet: yahnke@macc.wisc.edu Phonenet: 608.262.8626 Mailnet: 1210 W.

Bunnell announced months ago that he was leaving the company that publishes Macworld and friends. The transition finally kicked in. He's started a new publishing company that, among other things, is starting up a newsletter on NeXT. From what I can tell, he's going from publishing large, mass-market magazines to smaller, expensive, targetted newsletters.
