Microtimes closing :(

[Furor]

<< Dear MicroTimes.com Readers:

It is with great sadness that I must inform you of the closing of
MicroTimes. I won't go into a lot of detail -- that's really not necessary
-- but please believe that it has been a pleasure to serve you.

Yours always

You've never heard of Microtimes?! They have probably the most popular computer magazine in the world!

 

[Jeff7]

Not quite popular enough it seems if they're closing.

I haven't heard of them either though.

Popularity does not automatically equal success; particularly in the tech world.

Microtimes magazines were free, as well..I can't believe you guys haven't heard of them..

they didnt have great articles, but they had some really good deals from computer companies.

Ah, the "lose money on the product, make up for it with advertising" business model. That explains it.
