Bill D

No explanation was given in the ZD newsletter. It sounded a little like they were "reconsidering" their policy. I frankly haven't seen anything I thought I needed since they started the "pay for" policy, so I'm not even real sure how it worked.

My main contact with ZD is through a PC Magazine, but even that's sort of "mysterified." I get a "Systems Administrator" version (and have no idea why) that is significantly different from the newsstand version. It has some really good stuff; but they pile up faster than I can read them.

They do have some pretty good stuff in the downloads, and as long as there's an opening to get it for free, I thought it might be worth a look, for those inclined to "accessorize."
