I loved that mag.
Anybody else?




Yes, I remember Audio. I remember reading them
back then in the mid '90s when I decided to assemble
an affordable hi-fi audio for the first time. I recall going
to libraries then and sit in the corner to read their current
issue. Libraries then also usually had the previous 10
issues or more so sometimes I borrowed them for three
weeks and take them home. One time I went to the library
and I saw a whole stack of them about 2 foot high just sitting
on the pavement outside the main entrance. They were
marked 'Discarded.'

So I went inside and walk towards the front desk and ask to
see if I can have them instead. The libarary clerk told me,
"No, you cannot have 'em. I am selling them for 25 cent each."
But they're old, I said. "So what" he replied, "... they're still good."
But then I told him that they were already marked 'discarded' so
they're good to go. He then said, "... Ok, I'll sell them to you
for 5 cent each." "For 5 cent each, it would be about 3
dollars, right?," I asked. He replied, " No, it would be $3.35."

So I paid him and went outside to put the magazine stack
in my car. I counted them later after I got home and there were
exactly 67 magazines.

I still have them in the box. Are you looking for any particular
issue?
