I have been reading these e-mails with interest. I know that I am old but I
don't like the electronic version of magazines. I have several subscriptions
to magazines and have simply dropped the subscription rather than be
required to accept electronic versions...which is what I will do if CQ goes
that route. I have been a subscriber to CQ for many years and am a life
member of ARRL/QST. I just assumed that all these price increase over the
years have been to pay for the increased in cost of producing the magazine.
I would be willing to pay more for the paper copy if necessary unless the
price is ridiculous.
I don't find the internet/e-mail to be dependable enough to pay bills, get
electronic updates etc. A couple of weeks ago my internet was down for about
10 days. It is hard to read an electronic copy if the internet is down.

**An aside: Slowly, marketplace realities are beginning to penetrate the
publishing industry, including advertisers, as experience replaces hype.
Even young people prefer print over digital for certain types of reading. My
experience with two college student sons validates this.**
Very well put!
We may need to ask the crowd here to share their long-term experiences, new
developments, etc... by feeding CQ with a written article.
There have been very good ones these last two years.
