Off topic somewhat I know, but with rtegard to the preference to a hard copy
of a magazine,  I have to confess that I think the oft-times predicted
'demise of paper' is somewhat overstated.
Sure, many things like manuals for computer-related products/TVs etc are on
CDs (not because they are better but simply cheaper for the manufacturers),
and things like Kindle are catching on, but most people still prefer good
old=fashioned books and magazines, where you can leaf through the pages.
When it comes to solving a knotty problem in a program, I find there is
no substiture for printing out the source and poring over it and making
notes thereon with a pen or pencil where necessary.  I have to confess to
absolutely hating reading user-manuals on-screen!
