       | According to TFA, 2600 and the various computer magazines in one
       | of the photos featured in the article don't count since their
       | publishers are based overseas. 2600 is from NYC, but it has
       | characteristics that disqualify it as a proper magazine.

       | demise of Byte and Doctor Dobbs. Most current magazines are
       | hardly more than advertising slicks. Publications by ACM, IEEE,
       | etc. are still generally good.

       | I miss the magazines of the Golden Age era. At least in Europe
       | there are some retro magazines doing their best to gain a
       | foodhold in establishing themselves. Retro, Freeze64, just to
       | name a few.

       | After 10 years with kindle, I more and more revert back to
       | paperback. Not due to nostalgic feelings, mainly because I work
       | with them.
