I also own my own small business, and buy lots of gear for my Macs every year. I was accepted for a free subscription, but 6 weeks later I received a letter saying "Now that you've seen how valuable Macintosh Today is ..." and a message that $100 would give me a whole year subscription (They cut you a deal at $75, chuq). Now this wouldn't have bothered me at all, but I know several folks who also have no buying authority, but nevertheless get endless free subscriptions because they apply as an employee of a large, well known company. Of course that doesn't explain why I also have a friend with a 128K mac, no printer, who primarily plays games (old ones) on it, who has been receiving a free subscription without having even asked for one for 2 years. Well, at least the information they provide is available elswhere for free, even if you do have to wait a while for it to propagate.
