Personally I can't believe how many of those pages I actually read and processed.

It makes me reflect that a lot of what I'm doing on the web these days really is reading, even though it doesn't involve books, and is comparatively technical/informational.

Those mags were fun though, and I remember reactions from "check out how many stars they gave Turbo Pascal" to "what a goofy author photo" to "somebody wrote in with a great system script" to "oh there's an obscure game company in Vermont still writing arcade titles for dad's office computer" :-)
