Sad thing is, every month, Sys Admin magazine gets thinner and thinner, and
Linux Journal gets thicker.. but then, LJ is starting to be more "techy" and
less "LINUX UBER ALLES".

Of course, I remember the days when you could seriously hurt someone by
hitting them with a rolled-up Computer Shopper.  It still exists, but is
micro-thin (killed off mostly by online purchasing).
