In April 1986 Gary Kaplan, publisher of  99er/Home Computer Magazine, informed 
subscribers that his company would not honor its obligations to subscribers and deliver 
the number of issues paid for by long term subscriptions.  He did it this way:

Customers were notified that the “old” magazine, Home Computer Magazine, had ceased 
publication publication to be replaced with a “new” magazine called Home Computer 
Journal.  The value of the “new” magazine was designated as $25 per issue!  Thus, one 
issue of the “new” magazine wiped out the monitary value of everybody’s long term 99er 
subscription.

Many complained to the US Post Office and the local Oregon authorities.  Only a very 
few, including myself, were able to obtain a full cash refund for the unfulfilled portion of 
our 99er/Home Computer Magazine subscriptions.
