I would second that. The tinterweb thingy, whilst giving marvellous opportunity in some markets, is crippling the traditional providers of news, and altering entirely, the way we get our news.
Also I noted that the past few editions of Pilot, have been wrapped in cellophane, making the 5 minutes in John Menzies, perusal, a thing of the past. Certainly for looking at Pilot - see Flypast now.
Actually browsing was a good thing, in that, if an article I liked was in the mag, I would buy it. If I can't see inside I would not.
I think also forums like this do provide a wealth of information, that gives better value than buying a mag. Playboy and Penthouse can vouch for that.
