Here's something I'm merry about at the moment: The Christmas day edition of the New York Times puts the magazine I edit, PC World, on its technology-industry "nice" list for 2003:

NICE
PC World, a magazine that's unafraid to bite the hand that feeds it, month after month. In February it cited several high-profile mail-order companies (and PC World advertisers) for bait-and-switch tactics and price gouging. In December, its "Best and Worst Manufacturers" reliability chart gave poor ratings to several of its advertisers. And PC World can be so critical of Microsoft, there's actually a monthly column about bugs in Windows.

What a nice compliment to all the hard-working, talented journalists who make up the PC World editorial team.
