I have a problem with the magazine desktop video world, which I've seen discussed here in the past. It's a great magazine, but when I signed up, I believe I signed up for a year, which was at that time, parenthetically, six issues. In the mean time, they went to 12 issues per year. Instead of continueing my subscription for the year, they ended it at six issues. Since I'm biased, what do you all think? I think I should have gotten a full year especially since they didn't even raise the price. (forgive the typos, I'm stuck in cserve line edit mode until I transfer systems and I keep getting interrupted by phrases probably meant for a chat session – I don't know if you'll see them or not. I hope not. Any objective insight would be appreciated. Bob C.

I bought the same subscription. When I paid for it, I knew it was for six issues. They decided to go monthly some time after they started. I got what I paid for: six issues.

I think you got what you paid for, frankly: six issues. –Ben …via AutoPilot

Actually, I bought a year's worth. Since they didn't raise the price, it was only fair that they give me the full year. It took a while for them to locate me on their computer, but when they did, they were able to locate the card I sent in, which was as I remembered, a one year subscription, parenthetically six months. As soon as they located my file and looked up my card, without any further prompting from me [A (oops, just noticed: that parenthetically up above should read six issues sorry) they extended my subscription to a year, as now two of us (the two that count) they and I agree. Those of you who did the same might want to do the same. Bob C.
