I read whatever was in the house (in English) when I was growing up. I was a voracious reader. I read magazines about things that I didn’t really have an active interest in because it was words. Interesting words about strange things. My brothers had a subscription to Popular Electronics. I actually based my eighth grade science project on a fiber optic project printed in two issues. I got lots of help, of course, and promptly forgot how to read a circuit diagram afterwards. A few years after that, the magazine changed its name to Computers & Electronics. The beginning of the end. Someone is planning to scan in all of his 330 issues, but it’s going to take him a while. Other folks have reproduced specific items, such as how to make your own Pong game. The name Popular Electronics was resurrected, but recently got mushed into the less appealing (in my opinion) title: Poptronics. Sounds like another breakfast cereal, cartoon show cross-marketing deal.
