I grew up reading PC Magazine and I looked forward each couple weeks to picking up my copy of PC Magazine at the local grocery store. But today, Ziff Davis has announced that the legendary PC Magazine print publication is shutting down its print publication and focusing exclusively on online content. This is truly a sad day...
Hold on while I grab some tissues...PC Magazine started the whole in-depth comparative reviews of PCs and Microsoft software. They expanded later to including gadgets, MP3 players, mobile phones, GPS, and other technology. PC Magazine offered insightful tech tips and great columnists like John C. Dvorak. Back in the 80s and 90s the print publication was 400-500 pages, making for hours of tech- reading pleasure. Today, it's down to 150 pages and soon to be 0 (January 2009).
Well, I guess it's "greener" that way. But I for one will miss my print copy of PC Magazine.

Much better to see them change instead of going away. My favorite magazine is Wired. I need something to read when laying in bed...don't want to bring my laptop or have to remember to print something out.
People will always be willing to pay for information - when there is an advantage to be had.
