I second that. I found that at a news stand once and it was quite nice.

I *used* to buy magazines to learn cool stuff every month. I used to get
mags like Radio Electronics that had schematics of things like sirens, tesla
coils, stereo amplifiers and other useful stuff. Used to get 80 Micro
because it had source code for cool programs and schematics for computer
add-ons that I could build and hook to my computer. VW Trends could have
been cool since it had those tech articles. Unfortunately, the tech
articles sucked so bad that they were a waste of time for me. The write ups
were almost non existent: (Example: "See John hook wire to choke") and then
it would have some lame black and white picture of something. Usually it
was impossible to really see what was going on in the photos due to poor
contrast or whatever. Oh well.
