I still prefer reading good old fashioned hardcopy. I retain more of what I read, and more importantly, I can relax while reading it. After a day of computing at the office, this just isn't possible at home at night in front of a computer. Thats why I have stacks and stacks of howto's and man's on my shelves. If there was an on-line magazine I would print it out anyway. Rob.
