We can now confirm that The Register has put a bid in to buy the whole of CMP. CMP, which has stacks of magazines all across the world as well as the very famous newmedia site TechWeb, put itself up for sale earlier this year. And now we can confirm it is taking our bid -- worth one dollar -- seriously. No one from CMP was available to say whether it will take us up on our handsome offer at press time. ®
