My Favorite Magazine
American Heritage of Invention and Technology - This a great magazine, but it's very hard to find. Not only can you get it delivered to your door, you can get a discount as well! The magazine is bimonthly (every other month), and I read it cover-to-cover the day it arrives. It's a pretty thin magazine, but it has only one sponsor - GM - so there aren't many ads. This is an absolute must for anyone who has an interest in "how we got where we are" with respect to technology. It's absolutely fascinating.
