I know how to scana NGs for recent posts only with OE ???
Try using " Mark all Read" & "Catch Up " in the Edit list.

** Pissing on arrogant fuckwits in public is very far from boring when you

Try and you will soon see.

The last should come as no surprise. Reading the inputs on these forums
makes you out to be a total loser. What's your problem? Hitting 50 with no
assets? Angry are we?
Do everyone a favour and hand yourself in.
Goodbye!

Re: "Servo" magazine query

Most newsagents don't get speciality mags like Servo. The agent
I used to get Circuit Cellar from a year ago has discontinued that mag
so I get it elsewhere now, but I'm considering resubscribing to CC.
I'll check McGill's tomorrow to see if they carry Servo, and Make.

Re: "Servo" magazine query

Hi Andy,
I see you are trying to start up a new Aus Electronics forum.
My Aus-Electronics Yahoo group has been around for over 4 years now
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aus-electronics /), so not sure if we
need another forum, but I am fond of the phpBB boards...
The address might be the killer though, kinda hard to remember
http://www.swinndesign.com/ae /
Now www.auselectronics.com would be nice, but oops, already taken!
How about www.ozelectronics.com?, oops, already taken too!
I see you do Geocaching and are into EcoLiving too. Canyoning as well
by any chance?
Dave :)

Re: "Servo" magazine query

Yes.
Pretty good usually
Also nuts and volts (same publisher)
http://www.nutsvolts.com /
also has some robotics articles.
http://nutsvolts.texterity.com/nutsvoltssample
I prefer Circuitcellar , as its more alone the lines
of what I do (embedded systems)
Also their contests are great , chance to get free hardware.
Plus uni lecturers/staff can request free subscriptions for
themselves and their students.
I get all three, CC , Nuts and Volts and servo.
Circuitcellar produces an electronic edition.
Servo and its sister mag nuts and volts I think
have just started an electronic edition.
http://www.nutsvolts.com/subinfo.htm
Both are US$19.95 for a years online sub where as CC is US$15
The electronic editions are a good cheap way
to see what the magazines are like, with out having to wait for airmail etc

Re: "Servo" magazine query

I agree Alex,
Pity Silicon Chip electronic edition wasn't a lot cheaper.
Because I had a collection of magazines that was 50+ years old, I had to
give them all away, and now I only keep the last 12 months.
But many times I wish I had a copy of something only a year or two back,
and I can't find it, as I don't have it anymore.
But now with CC in pdf, it makes their projects easy to store and find
again in a hurry. Knock out stuff.
(Welcome to the 21st century)

Re: "Servo" magazine query

Not sure, but I don't think so. It was some discount "coupon" price I
got for some reason (probably for being a contributor), had to enter
the coupon code when renewing.
I think I got another one with one of the recent contest kits too.

Re: "Servo" magazine query

I renewed last time for US$5 courtesy of Atmel.
At the time if you signed up to recieve their applications journal
you could get CC electronic edition for $5.

Uni lecturers and Engineering societies can get free
subscriptions for their students as part of the
Circuit Cellar college program.
