Possibly not! InfoWorld Magazine publishes their last print issue and goes web only.

Sad to see InfoWorld give up the print medium, it was the only thing I had to read in the john.

I guess they saw greener pastures in the online world. Sort of makes sense really. When was the last time that you flipped through a print periodical and found news that you hadn't already heard on the net? Going the Internet route gives them quicker access to their readers -- and at a reduced cost.

Just like I now see greener pastures, I suppose. Cut your losses, maximize your output, and reap the rewards. Goodbye to the old... In with the renewed. :lol:

That's true, I mostly read the opinion columns though.

There was a time when I received about 25 magazines at home, all were free due to my years in the IT business. InfoWorld was the last one I was receiving, so it's house and garden for me now.
