I believe that subscribtion is ok, and they are plenty of guys like
me that had to stop their Byte subscription but would love to
subscribe a new technologie and free software oriented journal (*),
but on the other hand, subscription means that I would expect
more detailed articles more oriented to help the reader decide
what technology he well select for his next project.

Probably switching to once a month rate is necessary to achieve
such a goal since the most interesting things to deliver to the
reader are either about a young and inovative projects or a
comparison of several solutions, and both need some heavier
investigations to go behond repeating what everybody already knows.

(*) Nowdays, since advirtising is the main revenue of most journals,
they tend to speek fiew of really free issues, and on the other hand,
true users are most interested by these because they bring the
brightest futur.
