I have dropped my Australian S&T subscription because there was not much difference between that and the US one except you miss out on a month of articles - note this is my own opinion. at least the US one is monthly. on the downside not very many Australians get images in the US mag. with the change of editors there was a marked change in the mag itself. I think the net has a lot to do with it as well. sites like IIS and others now allow for more access to those Australian celebrities like Mike "I discovered a Galaxy" Sidonio
I think the market is just not there to keep a mag independent and afloat.
