I read today that “Maximum PC” is no longer in print just in digital. Past
issues are available in digitized format but it’s not the same as reading a
magazine while in bed! Our hobby is changing. Well, progress must not be
stopped…
Happy computing.

Ah, but who decides what is "progress"?
(and, if it is "progress", then what is "congress"?)
A "tablet" is not the same as a dead-tree edition,
but we have to get used to it.

You could print it on one of those old 2D printers that uses sheets of dead
tree flesh as a substrate.

Such progress should never stop. I keep buying old magazines (creative computing,
compute!, Byte, Omni, and more) via eBay and randomly pick one to read each day. It is
always a great feeling to read the actual magazines as if it were the eighties (or late
seventies)

Not progress just consolidation of the pc manufacturing industry. They lost most of their
advertising last year so most of their revenue. Most print publications have done the
same.

That's the crux of it.
Without advertisers magazines are too expensive. As advertisers needs
change they move to diferent media.
It's frustrating. But part of the world in which we live.

I've never seen a copy at a newsstand or book store.

I used to love reading EE Times when it was a weekly tabloid style
print edition. Ever since they moved to a web site only format, it's
been a serious downgrade of the experience. Even with accounting for
the format change, it's now virtually imposible to find "what's new"
since the last time I was there. The organization of the articles on
the web site is vastly inferior to the organization of the articles in
the print edition. The sad part is that there's no reason for the
degraded experience just because they moved to a digital edition.
