We’ll be producing versions of the magazine suitable for PDAs as well as for online reading, so if you have a PDA or an Archos you’ll still be able to lie on the settee and read. We’ll also be experimenting with a version for the iPod.

We’re not going to be cutting down any more trees, but we’ll certainly be continuing to burn the midnight oil…

Re. Hub: you know, I really am going to have to start deliberately putting time aside to read magazines and journals online. With the dead tree specimens I like to spend a few hours on the sofa and work through a few, but with eprint stuff it’s a bit as-and-when.

Also curious about this shift to a free-to-read model. Not complaining, but I’m wonder if recompense is intended to recent subscribers. I shall go read the official announcement…

Good to meet you at Eastercon.

Very sorry to hear that you got your ‘Dear John’ via text. Hope you don’t feel too bad about it, and the Finnish Prime Minister dumped his girlfriend by text (I would put a link in here, but that got me blocked as spam last time, so if you google Finnish Prime Minister, dumped, and text, you’ll find the story), so it happens on all levels.

Lee–

Sorry to hear that HUB goes electronic only. I liked the print format (although I would say that, obviously), and I hope my story* wasn’t the cause of this…;-)

I certainly hope it thrives online, and if I have something suitable I’ll definitely send it your way, keeping in mind that I don’t quite have as much time to write fiction as I would like.

* = just before EasterCon I found out that it sold — as a reprint — to a podcast you’re very familiar with.
