I used to read PC World but it becomes old after a while, IMHO it has the same articles over and over again...also its not very technical.

I think Maximum PC is the best comp. magazine around though.

I like when they burn old network cards, shoot old printers with a shotgun, or wash their laptops in the sink

Nice topic.

For Sports :
Sports Illustrated obviously

For Cars :
Road & Track, but since I live in Canada, I get World of Wheels, which is awesome cuz it lists specs/prices for the Canadian market.

For Comp :
PC Gamer for games, etc.
PC World for Comp stuff

For Education :
Scientific American. Great magazine.

For Enjoyment :
Playboy, Maxim, Hustler...I could go on forever

For puters. Maximum PC

For music collecting. Goldmine

For the things that ail you.........Playboy or Hot Rod. Both are cool.

Playboy is overrated, Penthouse or Hustler is a LOT better, though I wouldn't know anything about that.....

I use to read a lot of magzines, that's how I learned so much in my pre-internet years.

I read PC World, WinMag, Computer Shopper, and some others I can't remember.

But out of ALL of them my MOST favorite was Boot Magazine, yes Boot, some of you may remember it

This was MaximumPC before it was MaximumPC. I have every issue of the Boot Magzine from issue 6 until the VERY LAST one, then they went over to Maximum PC and I started collecting those. Boot was awesome, they started the whole Utilities on a CD thing, 650MB of pure fun on that CD, I had a LOT of sutff and learned a lot of stuff from them. Then of course switched over to Maximum PC.

But now adays I don't read any anymore, the Internet has all I need now. Everynow and then though if i see something interesting I'll pick up a Maximum PC mag.

Except Maximum PC is going outta business now, they are not gonna make any more mags, so I guess I won't be getting them for much longer, heh

For some odd reason I thought there would be a lot of replies here like, "My favorite mag is Highlights"!
