I joined years ago when I first got my license, but after a couple years got bored with the magazine. A few pages of good stuff, but like most magazines today 90% are advertising. When the price went up I never renewed. However a few weeks ago, I re-subscribed after finding a coupon code online that you can get various free stuff with a subscription. I got a new Operating Manual free (my old one is about 20 years old), but the magazine has not arrived yet. I just wanted something to read. The internet is such a wealth of knowledge, but I sometimes enjoy lying in bed reading a book or magazine rather than sitting up in a chair reading the monitor screen. A wireless laptop would probably be welcomed in my world.
