MacAddict

MacAddict is a US magazine, known for its enthusiastic reader base and irreverent wit, published by Future Network USA. MacAddict was the first North American magazine focused on the Apple Macintosh to include a CD-ROM with every issue. In its earliest years, the magazine was responsible for many QuickTime videos that depicted editors smashing personal computers that ran the Windows operating system.

Currently, the magazine has the second largest audited total circulation in North America among Macintosh-focused magazines, after Macworld, and the largest audited newsstand sales.

It features many intriguing sections such as reviews of software for the Macintosh system, a how-to section and 1-4 feature articles.

The website for MacAddict, www.macaddict.com, is updated daily with news relevant to Apple products. The website also features an active message board which, though plagued in the past by trouble with server hardware and software, is currently in stable condition and is the largest forum to run on PunBB. The forum has over 16,000 registered users and receives about 2,000 posts every day; many of the forum members do not subscribe to MacAddict, and discussion ranges on a wide variety of topics usually unrelated to the magazine.
