I remember Computer Shopper. I used to have a subscription at work. I would keep the issues in a bookcase. Back in the mid nineties, each perfect-bound issue was the size of a major city telephone book and consisted of perhaps a 100 pages of editorial content on decent paper spread out in a sea of advertising on cheaper paper (the kind that gets ink on your fingers). Then, as the internet ramped up, the magazine got slimmer and slimmer. Looking at my bookcase, it was easy to see the trend. I see from their Wikipedia entry† that they finally ceased print in 2009. The started in 1979. I lost track of them in about 2002.
