Hey Ron!<br>
<br>
I for one have ponied-up these prices for trade mags and am not sorry one bit that I did. A grey-beard like me likes a portable (print) copy of stuff to read (like LXF!) Granted you can get it digitally too (for less $$) but I do not own a tablet nor do I want one. Not into smart phones either so am a dinosaur in that regard, thus my liking of a print copy. These days I subscribe to LXF so save a good chunk of change....<br>
<br>
ALE, daily driving and LXF are my main means learning GNU/Linux and the tools of the trade...<div><div class="h5"><br>

<pre>Just fyi for everyone. The latest Linux User and Developer magazine has a 14 pg "mini mag" inside about the pi, including info on history and programming in python. Looks cool but I'm still reluctant to pay $18 for a magazine.
