Oh. My. Goodness.
I credit my mother allowing me a Popular Electronics subscription when I was 10 or so (up until they discontinued it) with jumpstarting my life in electronics and engineering. I can't wait to click through the covers to see how many of them immediately bring me back to a different time and place.
Some kids had comic books, I had Popular Electronics.
- a_thro_away 10y agoSame here. A subscription wasn't affordable to me, though I was totally enthralled when I would find a collection in the back of 7th grade science class, or in 1974 stumbling upon a current issue in a tiny, backwoods, northern town that didn't even have a traffic light. I still have and treasure them.
