Good point, There has not been a descent hardware magazine since BYTE
went over a 100 pages, (1976).  I keep up to date with several defense
magazines (or war magazines if you like).  But still I miss the old
days when circuits were printed even if they were sloppy.  Most of Green's
pubs were written by readers and I always enjoyed 73 because you can learn
by examining other peoples slop.  They once carried a spectrum analyser
issue (oh about 4 years ago I guess) and I got a kick because the guys
pictures had so much garbage signals hat you could barely discern what he
was pointing out.  Most recent stuff still has floating inputs that would
work I guess maybe 25% of the time with luck. But I enjoy electronics and
any the circuits that people design.  It is relaxing I think.
