A letter bearing good tidings from the New Yorker Store (boldface is boldly mine; there were a few more links in the email, but it's been a long day):
The New Yorker Store is pleased to announce that the Updated DVD for The Complete New Yorker is now available for pre-order.
The updated disk replaces DVD 1 of The Complete New Yorker. It includes more than 56 new issues, from February 2005 through April 2006--that's two bonus months of your favorite magazine.
The Updated DVD also contains upgrades and improvements that will help your program run smoother and your searches search faster. And the magazine-quality image reproduction has never been better.
Best of all, the updated disk costs just $19.99 and is available only through The New Yorker.
You can pre-order your Updated DVD today at The New Yorker Store. The DVDs will begin shipping after Labor Day.
So place your order for your Updated DVD 1 today and soon you'll be enjoying an even more complete Complete New Yorker.
Cheers,
April L. McKenzie
Web Sales & Promotions Manager
P. S. The Complete New Yorker DVD set is now being sold with the new Updated DVD for $69. It makes a great gift for friends and family.
Well, that's welcome news, especially about the fast searches, which will be appreciated. Thanks, A.L.M., and may I say I'm so glad you didn't sign your letter either "Regards" or "Best"? Not that I mind them that much in a business context, but I get hives when I see them dispensed by purported friends. They're but one treacherous degree away from the dreaded, deadly blank subject line of doom.
I know just the person to review the new disk, so stay tuned...

Em: I am pretty steamed to have to be on the hook for $25 a year to get the annual updates. I was waiting for this, but I expected $9.95 or $12.95. So on top of the $46 we pay per year to subscribe to the print edition, tack on another $25? ($20 for the DVD, $5 shipping + tax).I will probably say “no” — because all I really wanted was the 1920s and 30s anyway. Who else feels this way?
And I still can’t bring myself to get rid of the actual back-issues I have piled all over the house and boxed in the attic.
Weren’t people who registered the original product by a certain date supposed to get the first annual update for free? I distinctly recall this, and now I don’t see anything about it.
Actually, turns out I was wrong. It’s only free shipping. http://archive.newyorker.com/contactinfo.aspx
