I had had a Wired subscription forever. My Dad got it for me years ago as a birthday gift and my Mom
Keeps renewing it even though my Dad passed some time ago.
I haven’t read wired in decades. Was pretty iconic read before the dotcom crash, and I think I still have August 1996 issue describing the creation of the blue led.
It was thick with ads before the crash. A solid 1/2” usually.
I just really like long form media and there’s so little left. And I’m an aging GenXer so I’m torn between two worlds and some things I like on paper instead of digital. Like my todo lists and my magazines (such as they are these days).
