Today I wandered by a local bookstore (one of my favorite thesis-avoidance
techniques) and ran across a new magazine: "Macworld: The Macintosh
Magazine".

Are these people serious? A magazine devoted to a micro that hasn't even
been out two weeks yet? And it isn't as though they don't have any
competition. There are already lots of magazines for the Apple world (A+,
Softalk, PeelingsII, Apple Orchard, etc.).

And then there are the dozens of magazines for the PC, the PCjr, Trash-80s,
Commodores, and The Implementor knows what else. How do these turkeys all
survive?
