Hard Goodbye to Alice and Bill

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the alack-alas dept.

cuzality writes "Computer Shopper has decided to let 'The Hard Edge' go after twelve years and two months of 'edgy, sarcastic, reader-centric columns' by Alice and Bill. Many of us remember 'The Hard Edge' from all the way back when it was in the newsprint section of the inch-thick Computer Shopper, and it's always been the straight skinny direct from the Lab of Doom and Pepsi Cola. Though 'The Hard Edge' has met its untimely and abrupt end, Alice and Bill aren't splitting up: they will continue on together at AliceandBill.com, where they write about technology news and will be happy to accept your kind PayPal donation." (More below.)

"They are also signing up subscribers for an upcoming newsletter, but since they can't use the name 'The Hard Edge' (which is owned by C|Net, CS's parent company), they will have to use some alternate name, possibly 'Hedge Yard.' If you were loyal 'Hard Edge' reader, drop by and write them a nice note in their guestbook."

    Those were such great magazines. I always had this feeling that they'd be great for a nerd/geek house training a puppy. Puppy pees on the floor, roll up a computer shopper issue, and give the puppy a smart whack to the butt. The dog will from that point on hold it for hours at the mere sight of a computer shopper issue in your hands.
