What People Say About MWJ

After six years, MWJ is still one of the better-kept secrets in the Macintosh community. The proof is in the pudding - people all over the world read MWJ to get a weekly fix of the analysis, commentary, attitude and debunking that put us on the map. Since 1997, people have told us how much they value MWJ. Here's some of what they said:

"I really appreciate the quality of MWJ. It is quite impressive for you all to meet a weekly schedule."

"Your journal is very detailed and I am not a programer, but I would rather read it than not as, as you say, its difficult or impossible to get this info elsewhere."

"I can't live without this!"

"I have subscribed to MWJ for the past two years and consider it to be the best Mac-focused publication anywhere. I regularly recommend it to my fellow Mac-users, and also refer to it all the time."

"I find MWJ one of the best-written Mac information resources around and look forward to Mondays just so I can see what you had to say this week."
-Bob LeVitus, "Dr. Mac," way back when MWJ was delievered on Mondays

"There are other sources for news, but not many trusted sources for analysis and opinion."
-Jack Rosenzweig, product manager, Baseview Products

"I like the news and analysis, which you folks have typically done better than anyone else."
-Jed Harris, former OpenDoc architect, currently Principal at Ricoh Silicon Valley and a founder of Pliant Research

"I never could understand how you can manage to offer such a fantastic service for such a low fee."
-Martin S. Boswell

"I've been a subscriber to MDJ (and now MWJ) since it was in beta. You are producing what is easily the most insightful and in-depth analysis of both the business and technical aspects of the Macintosh market. I am continually impressed with your breadth of understanding and your ability to explain complex subjects clearly. You're doing a great job!"
-Ron Hayter

"I'd rather pay ... each month for the Mac news you're offering than the free Microsoft allied sound bites that are all too abundant in this USA Today/Headline News country of ours."
-Jeff Johnson

"A joy to read, as always. The bad news is that it's becoming harder and harder for me to avoid swiping some of your nice turns of phrase!"
-Lofty Becker

"I've been wanting to share issues of MWJ with several of my colleagues at work. [...] Today's issue is really useful and timely."

"For my money, I think you are doing just fine. This is the only newsletter I read cover-to-cover. Do what you can [...] and I will consider myself well-served. I am very pleased with the value I am getting for my dollars."
-Clark Wilkins

"I am very happy with MWJ, and feel it's money well spent."
-Paul Durrant

One of our favorites:

I praise your first-rate publication and its organization, GCSF Publishing. You may use my praise however you wish. I thoroughly enjoy MWJ!

The information, the thorough analyses, the explanations of MacPhenomena, the humor-they all conspire to make me a completely satisfied customer!

If you should ever need so much as someone to mow your grass so that you may bless the world with your terrific publication, just call me. I'll see if I can find some airline tickets! (Maybe a crop duster will let me hitch a ride between Georgia and Oklahoma!) You do excellent work.

-Jaddid Dodd, who asserted "I'm not under the influence of no drugs other than Claritin and Beconase for my allergies."
