Extremely good point. News expires in the span of a couple hours, but good 
technical content is valuable for months (years, sometimes).

I don't know that I'd say it had gone down hill so much as become digitally 
thinner in content.  Kind of like what happened over time with the print 
version of Computer Shopper (Now I'm really telling my age)  :)

But I know I can't imagine how hard it is to stay relevant in this age of 
super-instant gratification/Twitter.  A good friend of mine still maintains a 
daily email newsletter of varied tech-ish articles, but even then I catch 
myself thinking "Well that was yesterday's news."

They used to be really great, but it has gone down hill a lot lately. Even with 
a VIP membership, I get more offers to buy stuff than I do of technical content.

I suppose my next question is what about access to past content?  Kind of 
irksome, and sad.  I've had a subscription since ~1996.

guess they weren’t getting enough digital subscriptions to continue.

So I just got a rather disturbing email that WinIT Pro is no longer publishing 
digital (and already ceased dead tree) content.

Anyone happen to know what happened/why?
