I first saw a copy of "New Scientist" in the laundry room at the Opua
Marina in New Zealand in 01'. I thought "'New Scientist', eh, that
will be some kind of touchy-feely new age thing, but it should amuse
me while the clothing spins." Little did I know. I've been a
subscriber every since. They go to my brother's house and one of the
joys of home port is the knowledge that there will be a stack of them
waiting for me.

Yes Tom, its a great magazine. It is not a technical as "Scientific
American" which I have subscribed to since university days. It makes
difficult subjects simple to understand without losing any of the
essential parts.

What I like is that when I am away from home I can just logon on the
web and read the articles anywhere. Nothing like the mental stimulus
and keeping up with developments whilst anchored in a foreign port.
