I check them out at the magazine store from time to time to see what free software they have (usually previous version stuff) -probably should subscribe. To give you an idea the magazine is about $12-$14 by me and I got Carrara Studio free and at the time was able to get the full version for about $79 instead of $450+. I also got a copy of Credo's LifeForms 3.5 for free and I can now get an upgrade for $89 instead of $400 for full product. I have also gotten older version of Poser, Vue and free textures, models and sound files from several of these mags.
