As a Canadian kid, I spent summers in Portugal, in my mom's hometown. My grandfather ran the local newsstand, and I spent a lot of my summer vacation reading English computer magazines. It was a completely different world than the North American magazines we'd get back in Canada. I'd come home, after vacation, with magazines with tapes and eventually floppies. I don't think I'd be the nerd I am today without those magazines!
