[tuannguyen]

There's something to be said about holding up a good book or a good magazine and flipping through the pages.

I don't subscribe, but I pick up a computing mag every once in a while. You can get everything you want online nowadays, but I hope magazines stick around for a while.

I wanted to but at this point with the 9 or 10 tech sites I check daily I figure I'm not missing much.

About 10yrs ago when computers were getting very popular.

A laptop on my lap while taking a dump just doesn't seem right.

I still subscribe to a number of magazines. 12 in total. Not all tech of course, but I still enjoy having the hard copy of what I read in my hand, plus skimming through old things from time to time helps me to remember tips and tricks from the past which I may have forgotten.

Maximum PC
Wired
Popular Science
Motor Trend
Etc...
Until I get an e-book reader like the Kindle to read when I don't have an Internet connection they are the next best thing.

Yeah, but like dingumf said, holding an ebook reader while taking a dump just doesn't seem to compare to a magazine. Of course, my dumps don't generally require either, so who knows what I'm talking about 😛

By the way, I used to subscribe to Popular Science and PcMag.. I miss those subscriptions!

The American computer magazines are now truly awful, years ago they were the best in the world back in the time of Byte etc. I don’t know why they have become so bad perhaps it is the growth of the Internet or they have forgotten about the enthusiast and are going for the professional market. On the other hand the UK magazines are still quite good catering for the computer enthusiast.

Internet, Mags a waste of paper.

I subscribe to CPU. A lot of the info in there is fairly old by tech standards but it's gives me something to flip through while on the can.

Exactly what I do, I usually get it if there is some special guide to do something or something really good in it.

No subscriptions unless Better Homes & Gardens is classified as Tech. Love those Holiday recipes & pics! All else, now off the web: fresh, 30 websites faved, can print only what I really need in front of me on the bench.

I have subscribed to Maximum PC for years.
