Hey..what's wrong with reading old magazines??? I still have a bunch of old Family Computing mags that I look over. It's interesting to see what was state of the art back at that time, and compare and contrast how far we have come.
I also have some old Macworld and MacUser magazines, with the earliest being a 1991 MacUser magazine comparing the Mac IIfx with the original Mac. I'm a sucker for computer nostalgia.
