TidBITS -- ezine

Macintouch -- great

MacWorld -- only once a month

MacCentral -- annoying -- There are two big problems with the MacCentral web site that keep me from visiting very often. First, your use of META REFRESH means my PowerBook tries to dial the modem while I'm on the train reading. When I get the "no dial tone" error, the MacCentral web page is blank and can't be reloaded, because it's not in the cache. So half the time I *do* visit your site, I can't read it! Second, when I print a page, knowing I won't be able to read it on screen. I have to do a Print preview to keep from wasting reams of paper on comments like

For those who aren't familiar with OS X, it is a full implementation of BSD Unix with a Macintosh front end, which is to say world class inside and out. OS X is faster, smarter, prettier, and easier to use than any version of Windows.

Indeed it would not be an exaggeration to describe the history of the computer industry for the past decade as a massive effort to keep up with Apple... (the Mac) went on to pioneer or popularize almost every innovation in personal computing.

— Byte magazine, December 1994
