Have you? Looking at your replies you seem to hit the reply button usually first and within a few minutes of an OP.

What a boring life YOU have.

I know how to scana NGs for recent posts only with OE ???

Try using " Mark all Read" & "Catch Up " in the Edit list.

Try and you will soon see.

Beats making robot toy soldiers - hands down.

Phil gets this way when it's a full moon. He sees his job as chasing away anyone who needs information or advice. Your best bet is to ignore the nutcase completely as he's not taking his medication lately.

Have you checked with a newsagent to see of you can get it? You would be suprised of what they can get but don't. You may be able to just get one issue so you can see what is in it.

Yes. Pretty good usually Also nuts and volts (same publisher)

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.

The electronic editions are a good cheap way to see what the magazines are like, with out having to wait for airmail etc

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)

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.

Thanks for that Alex. I think I'll order a couple of issues of Servo, and see how it goes. I already get CC regularly, and I find that the Make website with it's links an interesting mix. .

Follows just some of the BBS's you visit with your VERY BORING life.

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!

My last CC subscription was $US5!

The electronic editions are definitely THE way to go. I wish SC would have a decent priced electronic edition.

Dave :)

is that the normal renewal price now Dave?

Geez, it cost me that when I got my first printed copy, issue number 4

say no more, say no more!

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

I see you do Geocaching and are into EcoLiving too. Canyoning as well by any chance?

Dave :)

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.

Dave :)

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.
