Mac Home Journal Sold, What's Next?

Thursday, April 18, 2002

By Senior Editor John H. Farr

The headline pretty much says it all and simultaneously expresses the extent of our own knowledge of the matter.

Imagine our surprise when the latest Mac Home Journal "Hot Tips Weekly eMail Announcement turned out to be a farewell letter from Hot Tips editor and (former) president of Mac Home Journal, Jim Capparell. We don't think he'd mind if we reprinted the full text of his message below, so here it is. Jim has contributed greatly to the world of Macintosh and we wish him well. It sounds like the magazine will soldier on, in any event:

"Well, there are changes in the works. Effective immediately I am no longer with Mac Home Journal. The magazine has been sold and after 10 years I find myself with some free time - maybe my golf game will start looking like I didn't pick up the sticks yesterday ;-)

It has been a real pleasure getting to know you and your questions have helped me get a good idea of the needs of regular Mac users. Thank you. Mac Home is in good hands and I know you can expect more of the same great information from the magazine and the new staff. Hot Tips itself will restart with a new editor in a few weeks so please be patient and with your input and feedback it will probably be even better. I hope you continue too give Mac Home your enthusiasm and support. I've often asked or reminded each of you to be sure to subscribe to Mac Home and I've been very gratified at your response don't forget it is how we are able to continue to bring you Hot Tips.

As for me, well some time off (I've been in publishing for 20 years - some of you know that I published Antic and Start in the old Atari days as well as an Apple II mag., a radio control hobby title and even an Amiga magazine). I do have some plans that hopefully many of you will have an interest in - a Mac book has been on my mind for some time now so watch for that later this year. Also, I've really enjoyed the interaction I've had with many of you, so I think you can expect to hear from me in a month or so regarding a tips project and of course the book. Until then thank you again for your questions, your contributions and your support."
