I'm quite familiar with them. I used to love them.

Nope. That's why when this thread started I specifically said magazines
that were still physically printed on paper. I'd love to use Linux Journal,
as I used to be a subscriber to them. But at present (and for the
foreseeable next few years), I have access to NO electronic publications.
At least, unless someone wants to be nice enough to download it and print
it, then mail me the printout. :)



Since the answer to someone who is willing to take the time and expense of
doing that is virtually nil, then I stick to the "No, that won't work for
me at the moment." answer. :(



A basic rule of thumb is this: if the entire web item of discussion
(magazine, web page, etc...) can be downloaded in a single GET operation,
and then viewed in something akin to vi or emacs, then I can see it. If it
takes any more formatting than vi/emacs/notepad would be willing to do,
then no I can't see it. Web pages work because they can be saved in text
only format, stripping out html tags.
