Hey everyone,  
I was browsing through some of the magazines I was subscribed to a few days ago, and I noticed, that the few magazines that I like, I have been reading for at least 3 or 4 years now.

So just out of curiosity, which magazines do you all happen to like? Also please keep the magazines appropriate for all audiences 🙂

Cheers!  
Kirupa 😛

Well - my all time favorite would have to be **Wired**. In my opinion it is the ultimate magazine for keeping tabs on the geek people, geek products, and the geek lifestyle 😛

I used to be subscribed to Guitar World for a year or two.

Once I got four simultaneous free subscriptions because of some airline program I was a part of. Other than that I really don’t have a particular favorite.

I used to be subscribed to PcWorld, PC Magazine, and PC Computing. I later realized that all of the things can be found by simply browsing the net for a few mins. I think PC Magazine and PC Computing still exist under a different name, etc. One of them is Smart Business or something…not sure 🙂

well i use to get “Design Graphics” monthly , subscription finished. i get a mag called “desktop” its a australian mag.

Also would love to get a uk mag, called “Computer arts”. and “3d world”. but cant seem to get a subsciption in australia, the only way is to get it each month at the newsagency, and it cost something like $20 -$25 AUS bucks a mag. too much in my opinion. quality mags though.

“Computer arts” ha ha…

I have 2 issues of that sitting right next to me, my g/f is a graphic designer and buys them. Along with “Design Graphics” & “desktop”… It annoys me that they charge so much for them, I guess they expect design firms to buy them cause they can afford them.

I have been reading Wired for years, probably around three.

I recently picked up a subscription to Business 2.0. There is some good stuff in there about the future of \*\*\*\* near everything.

can you ask her, does she know how to get a subscription from australia for the computer arts mag?

I stop getting design graphics, no idea why, there reviews just got boring i guess.

**[minimalistik.]**::  
just renewed my subscription with them, $99 aus for 2 years, and a Free 24 sleave cd holder :thumb:
