MC IS OUT OF BUSINESS
Hello, Yes it is true. MC is no longer in business. Midrange Computing magazine, Showcase Magazine, Midrange Network Expert, the entire line of books, videos, seminars, etc.... all gone. The only reason the website is still up is because no one is there right now to shut it off. That won't last. This came as a complete surprise to everyone. IIR Publications decided that MC wasn't making enough profit for them. That's not to say that MC wasn't making any money, because it way. In fact, more than our competition. However, for IIR Publications, from what I understand, the profit just wasn't enough. If you want to contact IIR, you can reach them at the following email address: IIR Feedback Thanks to all of you. It really has been a lot of fun being both a reader and an editor of the magazine for so long. I think I can safely speak for all of us when I say that we'll miss the magazine just as much as you folks will. And by the way, I don't know as I'd necessarily relate the demise of MC to the AS/400 industry in general. It's more a sign of the times of corporate homgenization than it is a sign of AS/400 economics. Good luck, and thanks. Shannon O'Donnell
