Actually, that's not entirely correct. Code Magazine ships a much higher total circulation that FPA. I'm not sure entirely, but I believe it's at least 10000 more, but perhaps even two to three times as much a FPA. On the other hand, we only ship quarterly (for now), so it evens out in the end...

I believe we ship about 7 - 8 times more than FoxTalk.
