Gernsback Publishing closing

Hello, all: I just got my latest copy of Nuts & Volts last night and to my surprise, there's a note from Larry Steckler of Gernsback, the publisher of Radio-Electronics and Popular Electronics (merged into Poptronics). He says in the note that Gernsback Publishing is closing after 94 years and N&V will be fulfilling the balance of the subscriptions. I pass this on to the list with mixed emotions. For many years I subscribed to both R-E and PE but once I found Nuts & Volts, I did not renew either subscription. They strayed too far from the content I liked and N&V had some interesting regular columns -- Amateur Robotics and BASIC Stamps -- that more closely followed my interests. I had the same feeling when Byte, well, bought it, in 1995 -- a formerly great publishing that lost its way and its relevance to its core readership. Rich ========================== Richard A.
