<< 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

Stephen Lawton
Editor-in-Chief / Editorial Director

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

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.

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