Since i am 17 and can't get a credit card, i called the contact number(on site), got another number, and told the guy what i wanted to do (get the reg. price sub. 36.00 for 4 issues, w/ the first 2 issue bonus). They both came in the mail on consecutive days, and i filled out the form and a check and sent it back. IIRC, it was about the same time as they said it would take. (6-8 weeks, IIRC)
I was impressed with the quality of customer service, and i am fairly happy with the mag (darn good for first issues ever, can take a little improvement, 2nd issue is way better than the first) it will only get better.
IIRC, the third issue is to come out shortly,
1st issue=winter 2007
2nd issue= spring 2008
3rd issue(not out yet)=summer 2008
