This may be so.  But, even though both magazines had different features
and a totally different writing style, they more times than not had
identical cover stories.  And everyone is forgetting that over a year
ago a brand new Mac magazine by the name of MacAddict debuted that has a
very strong subscription base.  So there is still more than one Mac
magazine on the market.
