Hi Thomas!

I have been looking at the budget question for some time now, and I am glad you asked. The print version subscription will be available separately, and your price estimate is close:-)

I do need to get some information finalized before I say more about the printed mag. What I can say is that I am working on discounts for having both web and print subscriptions. I’m also going to work on providing as many options as possible.

One thing that will not remain free will be the PDF, though. If the print version is going to be sold, then the PDF will have to be sold also.

Looks great, Joe. Congrats on the launch and for putting together such a clean, fresh looking site. The table of contents for the current issue is very handy.

I’m sure you’ve thought through the pricing options, but don’t discount the fact that some folks will still be willing to pay for a printed version even though they could get it free on the internet. It’s hard to substitute the convenience of carrying a magazine with you to lunch and flipping through all the pretty pictures, unless you’re willing to use your employer’s printer to print-out a big pdf. Not...that I...would DO that. :D
