I wholeheartedly agree!  I sent ICD a very critical message when I got the
notice that the hardcopy magazine was going to the web with the offer of a
reduced subscription rate of $25 (supposedly a $40 value).  I told them I didn't
think people would be interested in buying an electronic copy.  They sent me
back a much nicer reply (than my message) stating their optimism based on the
initial response to their web offering.  I was thinking of sending that nice
reply message back to them with a "I told you so!" and making them a
counteroffer that I would be willing to resubscribe to the hardcopy version of
the magazine.  After all, you can't take the electronic version to the doctor's
office and play games on your miniature set while waiting for the doctor who is
late again for your appointment.
