During the past two years our subscription rates have not changed, but our expenses sure have. With rising prices on paper, shipping and postage we are forced to adjust our prices to keep up and be competitive.

Effective May 1, 2009 our print subscription rates will rise accordingly.

The good news is that online Premium Memberships will not go up, and we are adding some features that might make it a better option. You can now download the issue and read it offline on your PC. This has all the bells and whistles that the online version has. (I am desperately working on a Mac version.) You can also print any or all of the pages from your own printer. This allows you to save the magazine, just like you would your print copy, and refer to it later. Try the Sample Issue to see how it works. (Upgrade to Premium would be a renewal online.)

We are also expanding the Premium Member's 10% discount to include print subscriptions beginning May 1, 2009. So if you want both online and print you will save a bit.

Now for the small print: Please remember the digital version of the magazine is copyrighted information and is not to be duplicated or distributed without permission. "Pirates" are getting a bad reputation these days and anyone caught distributing their electronic copy will walk the plank and lose their online membership without refund.
