Now that you mention it I do remember something of the sort, though I can't
recall any details at the moment. It was in one of those columns that they
discussed the trend toward miniaturization, and how eventually it was going
to get to the point where the "user interface" (knobs and switches and
such :-) was going to be the limiting factor in things. And we can all see
how the mfrs are trying to push the envelop with regard to that...
Cool! :-)
I remember a number of those, still...
Didn't Radio-Electronics also have a regular fictional series about the
adventures of a repair-shop guy? This would be back around the time of
C&J. I also remember that Popular Science had a series
called "The Model
Garage": http://www.gus-stories.org/index.htm
I didn't read those that much, but I do vaguely recall some garage-oriented
stuff of the sort. Not that those were nearly as much fun as the
electronics-oriented stuff, though.
