I rarely bought Compute ST.  Mainly because I had no way of checking out
their articles without "breaking the shrinkwrap".  I like to browse through
a magazine before buying it to see if it really has anything useful, and
a title and page number is not sufficient for a $10+ magazine.  If it was
good, I had no way of knowing, so I am not going to miss it.  I can see
why they might have needed to do something else since store owners didn't
like the easy to tear out disk packages in the first issue, but STart used
Tyvek envelopes (I use ceramic scissors - because I have to).  Why did
Compute think that people would buy their magazine without being aboe to
look inside?
