 JW>  in the world(s) of Amazing Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Thrilling
 JW> Wonder Stories...waiting at the paper-stand 'till the latest issue was
 JW>  unbound and buy-able....Science fiction was my addiction...now, it
 JW> seems it all came true; last month, according to PC Mag... :-)

	(Parenthetical note:  although pre-1970 sf featured computers
prominently, there is only the barest handful of mentions of anything
corresponding to a PC, much less a PDA!  Sf writers seem to have

 JL> ROFL. Isn't one of them, "Amazing" or "Astounding", called now
 JL> "Analog: Science Fiction, Science Fact"? I think it's the only

	The name-change from Astounding to Analog happened around
1962, along with a change in the magazine's size.

 JL> survivor among the SF pulp magazines; though of course "Asimov's"
 JL> and "Fantasy and SF" publish somewhat the same fare as newer
 JL> magazines alongside Analog. Dad used to have the four-part series

	Amazing survived until the 1990s, though in the 1970s there
was a period in which it was merely reprinting past stories.	
	And let us take a moment to bow our heads in silence for
Galaxy.

 JL> of "Dune" as it appeared in Analog, before Mom threw it out while
 JL> cleaning house!

	Ouch.
	I used to have a whole bunch of Analogs and F&SF and some
Galaxy from the '60s and '70s.  <sob>
