Well, it was OK. But I don't think I'll bother with the next one. I think this series jumped the shark some time ago. It seems little more than rather unpleasant wish fulfilment now. (Rather than fun and exciting wish fulfilment earlier.)

Next up: Analog, May 2011. I'm half-way through already, and it has an absolutely splendid "Probability Zero" short short.
