Does anybody know what happened to Nibble? I can't find their magazine in any of the bookstores around here any more. I tried to dial in to their Hotline a couple days ago but got a recorded message saying that it had been disconnected. Did they fold?

Nibble is still available, but it's no longer sold through bookstores. (They said it was too expensive to put magazines in bookstores, only to have to shred a bunch of them.) Starting with the current issue, you can only get Nibble by subscription.

they did not fold, but they ARE tightening their belts. Nibble magazine is 'only available via subscription' (their words) after the April issue. -- Larry W.

Nibble has been short on cash for awhile and since newstand magazines never tend to sell out, there is usually a lot of waste. So, to help alleviate their current cash flow problems, they've temporarily stopped selling newstand/bookstore copies of Nibble. They are still sending them to subscribers. -tim -- +---------------------------S-U-P-P-O-R-T-----------------------------------+ |/ Tim Meekins <<>> Snail Mail: <<>> Apple II \| |> meekins@cis.ohio-state.edu <<>> 8372 Morris Rd. <<>> Forever! <| |\ timm@pro-tcc.cts.com <<>> Hilliard, OH 43026 <<>> /|

Nibble has gone subscription-only. That's why you don't see them in
the bookstores anymore.

Nibble isn't sold in bookstores anymore, it's only available by subscription. According to their latest issue (only about 38 pages long), their new office number is 617-259-0448 and their new hotline number is 617-259-8482. -- David Huang | Internet: daveh@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | "How much is that hamster UUCP: ..!ut-emx!ccwf.cc.utexas.edu!daveh | in the window?"

Nibble is still alive and kicking (The recent reports of my death are greatly exagerated)! However, to save money (and boy are they trying to stretch every dollar) they are no longer selling the magazine in bookstores. They claim that 40-50% of the stock is never sold and gets shredded. SUBSCRIBE TO NIBBLE! They are trying so hard to not desert us. Support them with a subscription! Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Nibble, other than I am a long, loyal subscriber and would like to see them stick around as long as possible.
