I agree!  Popular computer magazines have become really useless.

I let my subscription to BYTE die out after November after 4 years.
Once they did their (rather fair) articles on Unix and C, there wasn't
much left for them to do...!

(And then, when they had a full-page display ad for a Buick --
a Buick! -- I felt this magazine was becomming something different
that I didn't want to be a part of any more ...).

Of course, Jerry Pournelle's articles contribute further to mindless
programming (besides his mindlessly wandering writing style):
his proposals for a merger of Pascal and Basic cause me some despair.

So what's there left to read?  There must be something...
