I definitely agree that
www.old-computers.com is the best online resource
for microcomputer systems data. I think of that site mostly as reference
guide, almost an encyclopedia, of microcomputer history.
Lucky for me, their "magazine" page is rarely updated. :)

I can believe that. Publishers are bastards :-).
I would rather pay a reasonable fee for an online database that experienced
continual updates. Until Michael makes something like that, there's
<http://www.old-computers.com>; I encourage people to contribute to that
site if they haven't already.
The problem is that most times when people adopt a subscriber model for
internet content their subscriber fees are so unreasonable that they are
exhorbitant. Things like online subscriptions costing more than print
subscriptions, but being bombarded with more invasive advertising in the
online version.
