MacTech Magazine to become MacTech X Magazine

Venerable publication MacTech Magazine has announced that at the end of the summer it will reinvent itself as MacTech X Magazine. Publisher Neil Ticktin said that the magazine “has long dabbled with non-developer topics, but now we’re giving them the coverage they deserve.” He noted that MacTech X Magazine will focus on a wide variety of technical Mac topics but will continue to cover the development of Mac OS X v10.4 “Tiger,” which Apple expects to ship during the first half of 2005. The magazine also announced the addition of Cheryl England, whose resume includes such magazines as MacAddict, Macworld, MacHome and MacUser, to its editorial team.
