[net.ham-radio] The Real Death of Popular Electronics

munck@MITRE-BEDFORD (02/27/85)

  It is indeed sad.  Popular Electronics led me and many of my friends
toward technology before Sputnik made it a national obsession, and for
many years helped me keep a scratching toehold on the advancing state-
of-the-art in hardware as an important part of earning my living in
software.  The name change to Computers and Electronics, and the
content changes that accompanied it, were an obvious step off the
cliff, and it's now hit bottom. At 30 years, my PE subscription was
second only to ASF.

  This Ziff person is really building up a debt; in addition to the
mags, he zapped a number of friends of mine who'd worked very hard to
put together a large, highly-accessable data base system for him.
