PCWorld's last print copy

[Katzenfreund]

I am informed that the Aug. 2013 copy of PCWorld is the last print copy the mag will ever make. It's going digital. You will use your computer to read PCWorld.

This makes me think, because this is the last issue, that it might be worth something someday. Well, we’ll all still need money in our old age.

So what do you think about putting it in gallon zip lock bag. .just in case?

The end of an era might be the birth of an opportunity.

I'd rather put Devorak in the bag and add a few mothballs to be sure...

Won't be worth much at all. It's just not a good magazine. Custom PC & PC Gamer are more my thing.

Don't really think I need anymore space taken up with junk

I have bought PC World a few times in my life - usually buy PC Gamer when I want a PC mag, but that was before I knew what I know today. Maybe all magazines will go digital one day.

I stopped reading PC mags when I got a decent internet connection.
All you need is in google.

When all mags will go the way of the dodo you will need to bring your tablet to the docs to read while you wait.

I prefer CPU and Maximum PC for computer mags.

I’ve just got hold of some inside information. They’re bringing out a special commemorative issue as collector’s item. That’s certainly worth having, if only for its cover.

Addendum: The August 2013 issue of PCWorld can be downloaded here, which is also an excellent eMags site.
