Somewhere late in high school my father started bringing home copies of Dr. Dobb's and I think around 11th grade -- (1993?) I was given my own subscription. I was lucky if I could understand 10% of what was written, but I would devour it -- and it provided a definite different perspective to me than the pop magazines I had been reading Compute! and many years before, Run! -- I have fond memories of the publication....I just have no longer had time to read it...sorry to see it go. Thanks for all the great content.
