praxis22 I apologise if my comment about british mags was percieved as unfair criticism. My comment was incidental and not meant to belittle or demean the british publishing industry in any way. I'm in California. Only been to England twice. I was so delighted with the computer Mags I found there I've spent nearly $900/year subscribing to them ever since(love the Cover CD's). Mostly Future Pub's titles. I've never read PC Pro, but I'm often tickled by the critical tone in comments in the tech columns of several as well as in the reviews. Perhaps it is a percieved bias, but I've often noticed more extensive coverage to what I would consider alternative software and operating systems. I've never seen more extensive coverage devoted to Linux as a contender against MS-WinXX anywhere than I have in these magazines. Oh well, perhaps it's all in my head :-)
