    I see that Elektor and an early iteration of the sparkfun logo have similar issues :)

    Elektor Electronics is one of the best surviving publications (Remember Radio Electronics, Electronics and Wireless World, HAM Radio, etc.). In this case, Nathan of Sparkfun is being honored and it is a fine edition. I highly recommend it. Having a background similar to Nathan, I really enjoyed hearing the story of how Sparkfun came to be. 73

      Back in 1980s I spent several weeks in the U.K. While there, I happened to get an electronics magazine on the local newstand that I was very impressed by. I tried to get a subscription sent to my U.S. address, and was fully prepared to pay 4 or 5 times the "cover" price for international mailing based on what I'd seen on subscription offers for various U.S. magazines. However, they flatly said "we won't send it to the U.S.", and refused to budge. It left a bad taste in my mouth, as they were turning their back on a large market, and when you see that it's hard to get up much sympathy. Also, while I'm on my soap box, I dropped my subscription to Byte magazine when they'd mostly turned their back on their original subscription base, and then had the gall to run an editorial about companies turning their backs on their original customer base.

        Wow, sorry to hear that. I certainly hope it was not Wireless World. I received that publication for at least 10 years (1980's-1990's if memory serves me) as well as Elektor. I do miss Byte, especially when Steve Ciacia was at the help. Nuts and Volts and Servo are two of my current favorites (along with Elektor and Circuite Celler). TAn author that used to write for Circuit Celler (Fred Eddy who later wrote under an alias, Pete Best - I'm sure you get the inference) was a long-time friend that I met at a Microchip Masters. I've made a lot of friends contacting the various authors over the years. If you aren't already a subscriber, Embedded Related (www.embeddedRelated.com) is a great resource. Rick Lyons (another long-time friend) has a great blog on DSP as well as other really great authors. I guess, sometimes, publication can alienate their clientele, and these days can be a death sentence to their business. 73
