Do you still read PC magazines?

Dude

Hey guys,

Call me an old bastard if you must but I still read magazines. I do find the quality of journalism to be pretty good and plus I do like something I can read in bed or on my chair that I don't have to charge.

If you still read PC or tech related magazines which one?

I still get issues of MaximumPC from a subscription I initiated a while ago, but I won't be renewing it as I don't really read them (or even open some of them from the packaging).

PC format no longer printed where I live

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

Hey, fix the poll, add a "I don't read them" option to the second question.

The name of the poll itself asks whether you read them or not so there already is an option.

not anymore. you should add NONE vote option @ 2nd poll

Will do that briefly.

I get CPU Magazine because it was a free subscription. Pretty sure it ran out a year ago, but I keep getting new issues.

Added option. Also, get a debit card or backhand your dad.

I haven't read a gaming/PC magazine since I was 11. The internet is my primary source for all that I need now. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?
