I rarely buy any computer magazines at all now.. average mag in the UK is between £4.99 and £7 and TBH they are all full of muchness. Funny enough until 2yrs ago I used to write for 2 well known UK mags, plus a monthly page in the Micro Mart, well a guy has to earn a crust somehow..lol and I can assure you pensions in the UK don't go very far. :-(
Could be why most of my posts are always quite long..lmao
Occasionally some interesting artical will catch my eye and I may be temped, but even that's only if it's one of the cheaper mags and there isn't many of those in the UK. Everything you need to know, including reviews is already available on the Net.. so I regard magazines these days as simply a waste of money... but then again I'm 68 and a bit of a tight git anyway..lol I certainly used to buy a lot of them when I was younger.
I do however, buy a couple when on our holidays, mainly just to give me something to read in Hotels or at our holiday home in France, if it weren't for that I'd be buying less than half dozen a year. I never buy Apple related mags anyway.. I have one keen passion which is Linux..I enjoy sailing too so most of the books I buy are Linux mags, and occasional sailing/boating mags.
