Ziff Davis Acquires Computer Shopper

I had to do a double-take on this one, just to make sure I wasn’t reading an article from 1993.  

Founded in 1979, Computer Shopper was a Ziff Davis property from 1993-2001 when it was sold to CNET. SX2 Media Labs, which purchased Computer Shopper from CNET in 2006, is now selling it back to Ziff Davis.

Incidentally, Ziff Davis (specifically Computer Shopper) was the first publisher I worked for as an advertising sales account executive.
