All about the money

I find it a real joke that Techrepublic offered a “free” site to us, one where we can access articles, ask and answer questions, etc. Now, many of the articles in this ‘free’ site require membership of $89/year (pretty big jump from free).

I realize a business needs to be profitable, although I’m sure all the advertising on this site is not ‘free’ to those posting the ads. I just don’t see paying $89/year to review a few articles that contain information I can access somewhere else for free.

I’d like to get your comments, and some other tech sites where I can go instead of Techrepublic.

Thanks,
Dan
