Magazines?

I used to be an avid reader of 'The Magpi', but the post office and/or parcel force saw to it that only about half of them arrived so I had to cancel my subscription. I still read the articles on the www but it's not the same. I sometimes buy 'Bike' in the supermarket if it looks as if there is an interesting article inside - one was so interesting about 16 months ago that I am now the proud owner of a brand-new Triumph motor-cycle! Back in the 80's my favourites were 'Acorn User' and 'The Micro User'. I like to have one of those puzzle magazines around too, just to keep my brain active when I havn't got anyting importnant to do. Well, that was the plan...

I used to read Wireless World, later Byte, Circuit Cellar, Sound on Sound and Elektor.

I have stopped and started sub to Elektor a few times, the content can be interesting but the more recent trend of political ranting puts me off.

Currently I don't have any magazine subscriptions, but I might look at any of the above (and others) on line.

What are your favourite magazines?

In my teens I had an Elektuur subscription. It's the Dutch (original :) ) version of Elektor. My first guitar amp was an Elektuur project.
In my twenties I used to buy a few PC magazines on regular base at the newspaper stall.

Since then virtually nothing. Sometimes a random music or Hifi magazine if I take the train.

My favorite magazine was  "Electronics" but read many magazines every week, including Byte and PC World. . I still have a bookcase with tons of old magazines in it:

Dr Dobbs, used to get that for work

At my peek I was reading close to sixty technical magazines/month.

Now I only read the RPi Magazine.

Just too busy writing my books to read much these days.

Silicon Chip (SC) was our local here in Australia. In their prime, they were battling against Electronics Australia (EA). There was also Electronics Today International (ETI) but they finished publishing before I got into the hobby.

popular electronics was dope back in the day.
Nuts and Volts is pretty good.
The linux Journal used to be cool.
I wrote to the 2600 hacker quarterly one time and now they send me the magazines, and I dont think they even published my article.  The 2600 is a little too simple, but the comment section makes it pretty good.

 Workshopshed Nope looked at it on did not want it. AND way to pricey for me! My favorite mag and I had them all, was BYTE!    I also loved EDN but sadly they went online and no paper. I also liked Popular Electronics.. I remember when the Z80 came in I was working in Interdata at the time, working with bigger boxes, and knowing the AM2901 I said the Z80 needed 16 bits so I built one, with 16 register sets. It was all wire-wrapped!
