At the same time, these same stores have started carrying magazines on VB, VC, VJ, Delphi, and Linux. Was it because nobody was buying the magazines, or becuase there is a limited amount of shelf space and the new magazines were about the hot, headline-grabbing tool of the day? I don't know for sure, but I agree that those distribution and circulation figures are pretty bad.
