I know *exactly* what you mean. PC Pro used to be pretty good but now it's
just an advert's folder. Even the tests are getting to be pretty pointless.
I mean, how many times can you test a PC. There comes a point when the
test's just become 'page filler', More stats - More pages filled. The best
items are the 'Real Life' columns but to get those you have to hunt thru
adverts, stripping them out one by one. Groan...it's a pain.

One other thing stood out about the magazine, from my perspective: how
marginal it is becoming. It seems to be steadily shrinking in page
count and the technical pieces are diminishing in both quantity and
quality. What I quoted above seems to be the only piece of information
worth passing along from that issue. The current issue, like so many
of the recent past, seems nothing but a collection of reviews of trendy
hardware and software interspersed with "columns" which seem mainly to
be extensions of Microsoft's support desk, if not it's primary support
desk.
I've subscribed to PC Mag from the beginning. My current subscription
expires in one year, but I won't be renewing it.
I began subscribing to Linux Journal last September. It appears to be
growing in a direction opposite to the one PC Mag is on. And PC MAG
doesn't have anything like the Linux Gazette online.
