Magazines about Macintosh OS X.
Australian Macworld
I first checked the January 2004 edition, and eventually found locally issues through to August 2004. Monthly glossy paper full colour 84 page magazine with about 23 full page advertisements, and a reasonable number of smaller adverts. About 9 articles, 11 reviews, plus editorial and some columns. Certain amount of padding.
Many of the reviews and almost all the articles are mostly from the same month issue of either Macworld USA or the highly similar UK version. Unlike the USA and UK versions, and most PC magazines here, it does not include a cover CD. Very handy to me initially for finding more details of Australian Mac dealers (the list at Apple seems extensive but has few details of specialist areas). The price of A$6.95 is substantially lower than the equivalent overseas magazines, which have very high local prices.
January 2004. Advertising 25 page, contents list 2 pages.
