I remember the previous editor (Leo Simpson) saying that when he started Silicon Chip there were seven similar magazines in Australia and now it's down to just one.  He also noted that the magazine's readership was rapidly aging as few young people are interested in building stuff these days. It is the same all over the world with no UK magazines left and only a few in the USA and Europe.  We seem to be headed for the same fate as the dinosaurs. Geoff
