People are figuring out that they can go online and read the same article for free vs buying a magazine

They must be happy just to send a mag out. I had a multiple subscription for the lobby here at the office of Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Red Book, Popular Mechanics, Southern Living, ESPN, and Readers Digest. Something for everyone.

I haven't paid for them in almost 2 years. NONE of them. They still send them.

By the time the rags hit my table, I have already read everything in them on line. I quit buying years ago.

so if you guys dont buy mags anymore, what in the hell do you do to pass time in the can?

thats the only time i can read, is when i'm dropping a deuce.

weird thing is that i didnt renew my subscriptions to motor trend or hot rod last month. this is all my fault :upset:
