How does one go about qualifying for a free subscription to MacWeek? I would like to hear from someone who has been successful at this. Addresses/phone numbers appreciated.

I'd like to know why my copy of MacWeek hasn't arrived. It's been weeks now and I used to get it quite regularly. Did MacWeek just drop off the face of the earth or something?

All I did to get my free subscription was to get my hands on a copy of MacWeek from one of my friends, and then fill out one of the subscription forms inside it. The forms are on one of the cardboard inserts; it's full page sized so you can't miss it. I'm not sure exactly what they require of you to qualify for the freebie. I just filled in all the boxes and sent it in. >I'd like to know why my copy of MacWeek hasn't arrived. It's been >weeks now and I used to get it quite regularly. Did MacWeek just drop >off the face of the earth or something? This happened to me, too. And a number of my friends also get theirs rather sporadically. I hadn't gotten an issue for a few months, until last week when one suddenly showed up in my mailbox. I wonder if I'll get one this week? (But wow, 1M SIMMs for $59! Should I hold out much longer?) - Richard Liu

MacWeek had the week off for Memorial Day and so there was one week which it was not published. That could be the reason for not getting it. It didn't drop off the face of the Earth, just the face of the working world.

You have to lie like crazy to get a subscription. You have to remember
they are in business to make money. If the readership of MacWeek appears
to be people who influence Mac purchaseing or Marketing they get more
money for advertising space.
The last company I worked for most the Tech Support department received
MacWeek, but if you looked at the address labels we had a zillion
Directors of Customer Services, Mangers, and Supervisors. No Tech
Representives. I've seen the happen with all the free trades. I don't
think they care as long as there reader profiles look good.
So next time say your the Director of Quality Assurance for YoYo Inc.
