I can also recall some MacUser's from the
mid-80's had some scheme where
you could read in programs from the magazine with some form of wand, never
really took of tho.
In Germany 'mc' (a more hardware orientated mag) tried also
this kind of barcode thing in the early 80s - but I think after
a year or so it faded away (the bar code, the magazine lasted
until 94 I think).
