I remember seeing this magazine on a newsstand.

Sometimes, I feel -real- old.

 

just hope you did not buy it..

 

Where I grew up (Brooklyn, New York), we would go to the neighborhood lunchonette and buy an egg cream (my favorite was chocolate). We would then pick a magazine and read it. This was one of my favorite magazines, along with Analog and Fantasy and Sci Fi. Popular Electronics and Radio & Electronics were two more favorites for me.

I remember the owner (Sid) saying "If you get chocolate on the pages, you're buyin' it!"

Those were great times. It seemed like anything was possible.

 

That doesnt work now...

Tried safe mode, safe-mode with networking and safe mode with command prompt and before it can display my desktop, warning pop up screens up again....
