But when they went online they had to accept a lot of advertising to stay afloat. After they were taken over by Conde Nast they lost all tech focus. Now they're as much about advertising as they are about tech, if not more so. I see no reason to financially support them anymore.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Just my opinions.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">-- Bob Primak</div><div><br></div>
