Well, earlier in this thread I reported that I got a call from them and I told them I wouldn't pay what they were asking given the recent poor quality of the magazine and they offered it to me at $109. I decided to chance it and gave the ok and my wife gave them the card number, etc. Turns out they never charged me and when I got an e-mail notice about renewal today I called and just told them I didn't want to renew. Supposedly they are taking me off the marketing list, but claim it will take 60 to 90 days (why can you get on that list so fast, but it takes 90 days to be removed!?). Too bad, it was a good magazine for quite some time.


>>>>I'm just curious ... if you don't renew, what magazines would you still subscribe to. As a writer, I would like to make sure my articles are in the magazines that reach the most number of FoxPro developers.
>>>
>>>For Fox alone, I still subscribe to Foxpro Advisor (actually my company does), and I read the UT Magazine. There isn't much else out there that I'm aware of other than Web sites and white papers etc. I Subscribe to CODE, but that's DotNet oriented.
>>>
>>>With FoxTalk, I just felt that for well over $100.00 Canadian (I was subscribing on my own dime), I'd want something with a bit more meat. For less than that I can pick up a couple of good VFP oriented books.
>>>
>>>I'm not knocking FoxTalk. I haven't seen it in over 3 years (iirc), so I don't know what it's like lately, and when I was getting it, I thought some if it very worthwhile, but I decided that for less money, I could get equally good information with a bit of work on my part - web searching, books etc.
>>
>>BTW, is CODE still free for PUTM? I'm not receiving issues anymore :(

>I didn't know it was. I'm paying actual money for my subscription (even if it is Canadian money).

>But, that's ok, it's worth the price.
