- In April 1986 Gary Kaplan, publisher of 99er/Home Computer Magazine, informed
- subscribers that his company would not honor its obligations to subscribers and deliver
- the number of issues paid for by long term subscriptions. He did it this way:
-
- Customers were notified that the ôoldö magazine, Home Computer Magazine, had ceased
- publication publication to be replaced with a ônewö magazine called Home Computer
- Journal. The value of the ônewö magazine was designated as $25 per issue! Thus, one
- issue of the ônewö magazine wiped out the monitary value of everybodyÆs long term 99er
- subscription.
-
- Many complained to the US Post Office and the local Oregon authorities. Only a very
- few, including myself, were able to obtain a full cash refund for the unfulfilled portion of
- our 99er/Home Computer Magazine subscriptions.
