I haven't gone through the magazine aisle in ANY store (with the intent of looking at magazines) in a helluva long time...

 

Which got me thinking...

 

 

Does anyone really buy magazines anymore?

 

 

I like Popular Science and Popular Mechanics (my father gives me the old issues when ever I go down to his place) and I occasionally read through a tech related magazine if I spot one in the recycling.

 

 

But I don't subscribe to any or regularly buy any...

I didn't realize stores had islands or peninsulas inside them. The places I go have their magazines in aisles :P

 

The only time I'll really buy magazines is when I'm at the airport before hopping on a flight, which is about two or three times a year. Every once in a while I'll see a good magazine at the checkout aisle at the supermarket that I'll pick up. However, I rarely go to bookstores to pick up magazines like I used to back in high school, let alone have a subscription to any magazines.

I wasnt going to renew Maximum PC but I guess what I said to the rep on the phone was a contract... So Ive got Maximum PC for another year. I actually got the June issue in the mail today. By the time its June all of the stuff in it will be old news.

I used to, until the Internet became better than magazines, and more up to date...

 

It's handy to have hardcopies though, and I still have most of my computer music magazines for the tutorials and guides

I subscribe to one magazine. It's mailed to me, I don't buy it in the store -

 

1. American Rifleman

I read my dad's subscription to that one all the time! I like to read Wired magazine every once in a while, and my mom buys me some Shooting magazines when I go down and visit the fam now and then.
