A while back, I sent in a subscription card for MACazine. Soon after (Friday, January 13th, I seem to recall), I read in this newsgroup that MACazine was going out of business and would cease publication this spring, so I figured they'd just ignore my subscription request. This weekend, though, I was surpised to find the March issue of MACazine in my mailbox. So, is MACazine still going out of business? Are they just trying to confuse me? Or have I got the story wrong from the start? E-mail responses are welcome.

Yes, the MACazine is not going to be published. The March issue is the last. The MacWorld people bought the rights to the MACazine, and plan to honor Macazine subscriptions with MacWorld. I hope this means that they will extend my subscription to MacWorld, not simply send me two issues of the magazine for the next year (I just renewed both...).

You heard right. I just spoke with someone at MACazine. They have been purchased by Macworld. The March issue is the last. Apparently, any unexpired portion of outstanding MACazine subscriptions will be converted to Macworld subscriptions. Just when I was planning to subscribe... :-( -- ===================================================================== Ed Anson, Calcomp Display Products Division, Hudson NH 03051 (603) 885-8712, anson@elrond.CalComp.COM
