Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4217 (PORTABLE 100/NEWS)

I did not renew my subscription when it expired a few months ago.  Just looking
at the writing on the walls told me it would not last too long.  Customer
support and relations was poor, issues came months late, issues were missed or
not published, a shift away from Model T news (which I wanted) to cover more
and more DOS news (which I didn't want and which far better magazines are
available).  I just asked myself did if I wanted to subscribe to a magazine
only to give the publishers moral support (since I wasn't getting any valuable
information from it) and I realized I got more information and support from
Club 100.   So... I decided if I was going to give my moral and financial
support anywhere regarding my Model T, in justice, it had to go to the Club
business and not to Portable 100.
    
I don't know if it is still publishing..... Sometimes it skipped three or four
months before I got a three or four month old issue (published late).  It may
still be around.  I would suggest you just call them and see what is going on
or get a refund or contact your credit card company if you paid with plastic.
     
Portable 100 did have a faithful following (me not included) and for those who
found it helpful, I hope it's still around.  Whatever the case may be for you,
I hope you get your money's worth or money back.
