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.
