To be honest, I'm not surprised at Future - I've suspected for a while its
a matter of when they were going to do this rather than if.
I remember a spate of "Internet" magazines coming out about four years ago
- Future's .net is the only one I think remaining.
Personally I reckon this is great news - Future's magazines tend to be a
very high (if glossy!) standard generally.
