Hey everyone, I was filing some old issues of Linux Journal the other day and noticed (perhaps not surprisingly) that the thickness of the magazines directly tracks with the high-tech bubble and bust of the last few years. My first issue is from March 1998 and runs 95 pages. It looks like the largest copy is from approx. Nov. or Dec. 2000. The Sept. issue of this year is about 90 pages. A quick look through the advertisers index shows that all the companies who used to have multi-page ads have disappeared (e.g., V.A. Linux, Penguin Computing, the various distros). None of this is terrible unexpected, of course, but seeing the issues all lined up on the shelf makes the trend more dramatic. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com W.
