Journal morgan_greywolf's Journal: PC Magazine calls it quits 1
I just heard on Pacifica's "Democracy Now!" that PC Magazine is calling it quits after nearly 30 years. Kind of a sad day, really. I remember PC Magazine was one of the first publications to have an online presence -- they had their own BBS in the 1980s and by the 1990s they added PCMagNet, their own forum on CompuServe (or CI$ as it was known back then
I used to look forward to PC Magazine for their new utilities every month, their "how to" and "tips and tricks" columns, Alfred Poor's computer fixes column, and, of course, my favorite, 'Abort, Retry, Fail?', which was a humor column that highlighted the funniest typos, goofy ads and PC-related photos from around the country. Even John C. Dvorak had a clue at one time -- when he first encountered Linux in the early 90s, he was flabbergasted that you could get the source code to an entire OS on a CD. And he even predicted that Linux would go places one day. Really.
Farewell, PC Mag!
What do you guys remember?

I'm still subscribed, so of course I'm upset, but it's a business decision, so I live with it...
Ah well, so long as CNet doesn't disappear...
