Hi :)
My 'local' supermarket, part of a national and possibly international chain, used to have an isle
for magazines with 1 section for IT. Out of the 16 mags there used to be 2 devoted to Linux.
Sadly, last week there there was only 1 :( but a few gaps so i went in today hoping to see 2 again
but still only 1 :( still some gaps.
Then i noticed the sections on either side seem to have crept into the IT section so it's gone from
2/16 about Linux to about 1/10. Not quite such a bad drop as i had first feared. Then i noticed
that 2 mags on the top shelf were about Android and another mag was about smart-phones with 4
sections in the mag to cover the 4 main types = they had Android as the number 1 best, then iPhone,
then Windows and finally blackberry. So, half the mag about Linux, or 3/4 about unix-based
platforms and only 1/4 about Windows.
So that added up to 3.5/10 mags about Linux platforms!! Nearly double on a few weeks ago in a
shrinking market!!
Oh of the remainder of the mags several were dedicated to Photoshop and a few to iSomethings and
some too generic to get down to specific OSes or even platforms.
Amazing stuff!!
Regards from
Tom :)
