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 don't know how much time I've spent correcting people on things they read in that worthless joke of a magazine but it's been one of the largest sources of misinformation in the industry I've ever seen, almost as bad as that blog Rob Malda used to run.

    Computer magazines are not dead. Computer != PC.
