PCWorld Magazine Is No More

Posted by timothy on from the long-rather-for-the-old-and-big-computer-shopper dept.

harrymcc writes "After slightly more than 30 years, PCWorld — one of the most successful computer magazines of all time — is discontinuing print publication. It was the last general-interest magazine for PC users, so it really is the end of an era. Over at TIME, I paused to reflect upon the end of the once-booming category, in part as a former editor at PCWorld, but mostly as a guy who really, really loved to read computer magazines."

    I can't say I'm sorry to see it go. It was like reading a car magazine that explains that cars have four tires in every article.

    I'd go with LinuxDesktopWorld myself. I hear next year will be the year it finally takes off!
