From the list you provided, it looks like you're an Apple person.  In that
case, there really ARE no good ones left.  A+ is fluff and useless information.
Nibble has neat things occasionally, but I'm rarely interested in their regular
monthly fare.  InCider is okay, but just barely. (If they don't stop mailing
me packets asking me to susbscribe, the rating goes down to "joke" too.)  The
only Apple-oriented magazine I read and enjoy with any regularity since
Softalk died is Hardcore COMPUTIST, but even that is pretty limited, with a
focus on removing copy-protection from commercial software.

Who publishes MacWorld?  That seems to be an interesting magazine, or maybe
it's just my lust for the Mac that makes it look good.  I wouldn't mind an
Apple //-series specific magazine in that style.
