- I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here... Computer Shopper costs
- less because: 1) It is 95% advertising (A2-Central is 0%); and 2) It has a
- far, far wider distribution than A2-Central. Mostly #1. If you cut out
- all the ads in Computer Shopper, you'll probably have less useful
- information than an average A2-Central...
