Bottom line (sorry): Most folks read magazines on the porcelain throne. Probably not going to bring the computer in there. Oh, and what about the Godforsaken airplanes half of us spend half our lives on? In reality, PC Magazine sucks, and they're trying to save themselves by eliminating the cost of publication. In their case, the eggheads who still read PC Mag will probably subscribe online, but their problem is lousy content not publication costs. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mikey the Nail]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 2:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</guid><description><![CDATA[Face it: it's more convenient to curl up on a couch with "bound printed material" than a desktop (or even a laptop), but portable readers are just too pricey. Until you get fed up by the glare off the glossy stock (which is also pricier than the matte stuff), and the bound-in reply cards and other addstuff (how may of those actually get USED, anyway?). Then you start thinking printouts of the most interesting articles is the way to go. And you don't even realize you're spending more to print those few articles than the publisher spent printing the whole mag. And the way most webpages end up when they're compiled for printout--you're chopping down a lot more trees, too. But I'm sure every one of them will point out how much more "economical" and "environmentally friendly" their e-only publications are.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wendygoerl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 2:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</guid><description><![CDATA[Who cares?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 3:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</guid><description><![CDATA[What us hillbillies gone due for toilet paper now?

Elders love to look through them and appreciate getting them. Consumer Reports is an excellent magazine as is Readers' Digest in large print. They also like catalogs...just for the pictures.   Thanks!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 3:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</guid><description><![CDATA[I feel bad for the current paid subscribers,but think about it... everything is going to be online eventually.Paperless is the future.Do you still own a typewriter?

Right now, the current issue is still on the breakfast table where I put it two days ago when it arrived. It will next move to the downstairs bathroom for a few days and then will probably follow me up stairs to reside on the night stand for another few days until I've finally made it through to the last article.<br>Say what you want. I'll sorely miss the print version and I know I'll miss most of it by simply not finding the time to remember and sort through all the other online distactions looking for it.<br>I'd gladly pay twice the current subscription price to continue to receive the "paper" version -- going "green" and all that other "PC" stuff be da*@ed".<br>Sorry advertisers, I'm just not going to be looking at your ads -- even if I happen to remember to go looking for a PC Mag. article on line.<br>The internet is great for a lot of stuff -- it's NOT an interchangeable substiture for something I can carry around with me until I get my full use out of it -- at my leasure.<br>Oh, yea, I do carry the laptop on occasional visits to the porcelain Idol, but the darn things just get too hot for my sensitive skin so surfing while "relaxing" just ain't the same as carrying along my old comfy magazine friend.<br>Sorry to see you go. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[njguardian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 4:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/11/19/pc-magazine-closing-print-edition-staying-online-only/</guid><description><![CDATA[Gosh, I've learned so much from this magazine over the years: colon, backslash, if, to, and of course the mathematical limit of 64K RAM and how to get around it. IMHO this mag failed to evolve after Win95. (Of course, neither has Microsoft.) 1992-96 I read it voraciously.

Wont be me as I have already pulled my money out and have it under my control.   If I am wrong I lose some interest but I will not lose all of it.   But if I am right I will survive better than those who wait too long.   All the signs of the crash of '29 are coming into place and just as in '29 there will be many who wait too long and lose it all.   Price decline is one of the signs.   Lower prices will temporarily help those still employed for now  but if you just lost your job you still cant afford to buy.    Many people go deeper into debt during the Holidays but this might be a time to spend only some of what you have on hand and do not go into debt at least until you see what the economy is going to do]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gary]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 19th 2008 8:04PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
