i used to buy their magazines whne i was a mac newbe, i loved them actualy (2years ago) and they made the whole macworld so much fun, their articles were funnier copared to macworld and that is the main reason i bought it, now they don't appeal to me because i know everythng they are going to talk about in the magazine month before, and well, it just gets boring after awhile, anyway where is press3 newsletter i've been hearing about? howw does it work?

macromedia is web adobe is print. two diffenet markets. quark costs a lot, but if quark dies, which is what some people have sid they wished around her, the adobe will start chargin as much. they just need converts now. see so indesigns price is low because of compewtition, so you should with for even more companies to come up with good publishing products. then prices wil be even lower. makes sense?

I personally like MacAddict, here are my reasons why.
1. The CD.
2. They write on the level of the intermediate and beginner user. Most who subscribe to the magazine are not "power users" like most of us.
3. They write about many things I already know, but sometimes they write about something that is new to me, and it peaks my interest. Many times I have become aware of something because it was featured in an article.
4. It brings variety to the Mac publishing world. (As previously mentioned.)
5. And last but not least on my short list: They print what they want, the way they want, and don't care one snit about what anybody else thinks. I agree that most of the time the design is bad, and the commentaries and articles are on the vapid side, but they do it with such irreverence and disdain of what is "acceptable" by the computing society at large, that it's a blast to read. Could you imagine working in a place that is secure enough with itself to actually let their employees act in such a manner. Most of us would dream of being in that type of environment.

Yeah... that is a reason I want to get into graphic design. At my Dad's work... they just mess around ALL day. they come in late.. bring their dogs to work... just leave for lunch without telling anyone... download MP3s all day on the T1 line. that is great. if you love you job, you will not work a day in your life.
But you have to admit, MacAddcit spits out a lot of worthless crap.

I just wanted to say that the new MacAddict (july 2002) is much better with their design/layout. And the holder for the CD is cool. I like the font. Anyone know what font that is. The font they used for "MAYA", "PAINTER 7", and "FLASH MX" ???
Now they just need to at least fix the colors on their web site.
