PCWorld Magazine Is No More 164
harrymcc writes "After slightly more than 30 years, PCWorld — one of the most successful computer magazines of all time — is discontinuing print publication. It was the last general-interest magazine for PC users, so it really is the end of an era. Over at TIME, I paused to reflect upon the end of the once-booming category, in part as a former editor at PCWorld, but mostly as a guy who really, really loved to read computer magazines."

PCWorld can just rename itself MobileWorld or CloudWorld or SocialWorld and it will be thriving again!

I can't say I'm sorry to see it go. It was like reading a car magazine that explains that cars have four tires in every article.

Yeah, but even so - everyone will expect it to be free.

I loved computer shopper. Not the souless glossy pamphlet that it became. The real computer shopper was 300+ pages of nothing but ads all printed on cheap pulp paper, heavy enough to make phone books jealous and mailmen cry.
It was a cheap source of paper and weight when in need, like when you are sitting on the toilet and notice your short of a vital component. Got a computer shopper, your covered. Need something to hold your ass down when a hurricane winds a blowing, your covered. Got a body to sink and got no cement, your covered.
Damn I miss that book, but I'm sure glad my ex wife missed when she threw one at me.
