I was the one who started the previous thread about MacHome. Yes, indeed, theyve gone under. Tis very sad, as it was a great little magazine. Full of great hints and info.
I went to their website and called the people who host it, and from there, I was able to find out from some other site that it was true.
Thank you for this new link, it does explain it a little better.
On another subject, in the latest Kiplinger magazine, the editor explaines about how some flybynight companies or individuals, make a subscription renewal letter look like it came from the magazine, when indeed it does not. So you send in your $, and the magazine never gets it. So I phone the magazines who our family subscribes to, first before sending any money.
US news and world report sent my elderly aunt so many 'subscription reminders', that she would have been 200 years old before it ran out. So there are many scams out there.
But I think that MacHome came upon financial problems, and had to bail out. I dont believe that they were out to cheat any of us. I am sure we will find out eventually what happened.
I am out a few $ too, but I dont think that I would do anything about it. They werent about scamming people, they just fell upon hard times from what I guess.
