Oh, how I wish back-issue collections also included the advertisements that ran in them. Just the same as old comic books were filled with brine shrimp and muscle building ads, I would look forward to seeing those old ads about compilers that were _only_ $199.99! and programs that "look the same on Windows, and on Macintosh!" Seeing these things helps gives a context to the times in which they were printed, and allows for an appreciation for just how far we've come.
