I must say that I did subscribe to this mag when it first came out. I actually liked it. Hal Helms, Ben Forta, Simon, as well as other prominent CF developers were regular contributors, and I picked up a few things from it. When it came to PDF format, that was fine. I could print out only the pages that were not full page ads and have a slimmed down version that I kept in a library. Well when the mainstream CF'ers were no longer contributing and when the mag was full of far more ads than any useful content, I canceled my subscription as well as removed myself from their email list. They went downhill fast. So like Simon says, although I do miss the first couple of years, I don't feel sad about its demise.
