I haven't seen it yet, but I will say that, aside from articles by some of the
regulars here in RAP, I buy magazines for the pretty color ads and pictures
anyway. The list of people whose opinions on gear I trust is so short and so
pathetically represented in the major magazines, it's certainly not for the
reviews I read them.

TapeOp is the one magazine I know I'm going to consistently enjoy cover to cover
and, ironically, it costs me the least as a direct result of those pretty ads.
So I'm especially okay with it there.

Maybe I'm the exception to the rule when it comes to ads.

If you're extra careful you can remove the little clear rubbery strip
that holds it to the page. About the only use I've found for that strip
is to stuff part of it up my nose, let the rest dangle, then asking my
wife if she knows where the Kleenex is. It's no longer funny to her,
after about the third time.

I use it to glue the pages of my porn magazines together. I'm getting
too old to do it the old fashioned way.
