How many other people remember poring over Computer Shopper for the latest hardware prices?

[AndrewR]

Damn, I am certainly glad those days are over. I hated that!

Or, how about buying the same magazine and looking over the state-by-state BBS listings?

I am one who remembers.The CS was bigger than the local phone book.Reminded me of the Sears Catalog for the generations before us,like a wish book if you will.

Yea, by the time you went through it and found what you wanted, the new issue has hit the newstands rendering your careful research obsolete.

Ahh the good ole days.

I miss the days of paying $2.95 and getting 1000 oversize pages in return.

"Let's see...sound cards, Creative Labs...pages 17, 19, 43, 47, 56, 78....."

Hahahahhaha... I had forgotten about that... are those things still around? I used to have a closetfull of those mags, from like 1990-1993, because i figured they'd be funny reading someday... Plus my BBS was listed! HAH

 

[stonerdave]

Yes, they sure are. It's funny to see a few of the mail-order places on pricewatch now. Like dirtcheapdrives, which I always remember was in the back of CS in the b&w section.

 

[BoberFett]

CS is still around, but it's trying to look more like an actual magazine now. Meaning lots and lots of ads.

I loved Computer Shopper in the early to mid 1990's. I poured over every page!!

The ink smell would get to me after awhile.

 

[Linh]

CS, the good ol days

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

I forgot about the CS, what a hobby that was in itself

 

[Pastore]

What? I just got my latest one in the mail... looking over it now...

 

[snow patrol]

I used to love doing that! I'd buy my copy from the local newsagents, come home make a cup of tea and head straight for the back pages.

 

[Imported]

I still get it..
