READER FEEDBACK
EVERYTHING FOR ELECTRONICS
OUT WITH TRENCHES
I just wanted to tell you how
much I have enjoyed your magazine.
In fact, I am building the Ultimate

needs to get away from work and
learn new skills. Thank you and keep
up the good articles.

glad that my article received so

I'm a mail subscriber and I've
just got my November N&V issue. I
think it's amazing how much you
have improved the whole magazine
design. Congratulations to all that
people over there. My favorite magazine is now even much better.

In reference to the Reader Feedback "Format Folly" in the Dec. issue,
I fully agree with Len Taddei. The
new format is a mess!!! I don't like
it!!!
