It seems we are having an effect! I received an email from Karolina, the Chief Editor, last night. She says that there has been a noticeable increase and the publisher is willing to consider keeping it going, especially in electronic form. It's still up in the air until after this weekend. If they decide to keep publishing, I am going to pitch them on letting iX takeover the print & distribution in the US so we can try to keep it at Barnes & Noble and Borders while getting it into Fry's and Microcenter as well. FreeBSD Mall reduced the new issue 20% so it's now $12 USD for the print version at http://www.freebsdmall.com. If you'd already purchased at the regular price yesterday, forward me your order confirmation and address and I'll have marketing send along something worth the extra few dollars ;-) You can also sign up for the electronic subscription on the BSD Mag website, http://bsdmag.org/prt/view/subscribe.html. Great job everyone!! Spread the word! best, -matt
