Yeah. I've bought it every month since school. I left a huge stack behind
when I moved house, sadly. It became a point of honour, almost, never to
miss my electronics magazines; even when at college and very short of money,
I would walk in to Liverpool, so I could afford it. Now, for the first time
in my life, I'm considering dropping WW. They're on 'notice' - I'm going to
see if they come through on their promise to do articles on printing
semiconductors, otherwise they're gone!

I'm going to try them for custom switch work.

 They might work for that accordion too, thinking about it.

Best wishes
