Comment from Daiki Sekiguchi, New Editor-in-Chief of 'Mac Fan Portal':
"Once again, I express my gratitude to our readers. Thanks to you, 'Mac Fan' magazine concluded on a high note.
However, the 33-year history since its founding is not ending here. The 'Mac Fan Portal' web media, which inherited its DNA, has now grown into a media with 2 million monthly page views.
When 'Mac Fan' was founded, it was a latecomer among Mac specialty magazines. Similarly, 'Mac Fan Portal' is a latecomer among web media. Amidst this, we will continue to pursue 'truly valuable information for readers' and challenge ourselves with the 'Think different.' spirit. We appreciate your continued support."
