What’s not to like about a magazine whose regular features include ‘Strange Deaths’ and ‘The UFO Files’? I received my first subscription issue today, and am relieved to find that the quality has not dimmed over time. One of my favourite bits of the magazine is the ‘Sidelines…’ sections on a few pages, that contain some odd, bizarre, or wacky stories. This month?

After this happened three times, the Loknar family refused to open the door.

- The Predictable Windows V MacOS X Comparison Article? Every so often, editors of PC and Mac magazines seem to feel the need to do a comparison article, where they compare Windows XP with MacOS X.
