Yes, I remember those days too ... when magazines had a decent content
to them.  I still have quite a few 'project type' magazines stored away
for the 'rainy day' when I get to make some things.

OT - yet computer magazines today are largely just product reviews, and
new software version reviews ... I guess it could get interesting again
in the future.
