The last time my subscribtion came due I considered saving the money but thought I would do my part to keep the mag going. Looks like I'll be saving some money. Lets face it, print media is on the way out. Sad but true.

This may be true and may be the thing that makes me more of an "old timer" but I'd just much rather hold a magazine. I'll read books on a tablet, but I just don't care for reading magazines on-line or on a tablet.

Sad to see it go, but understand that nothing lasts forever...

I still read the Chicago Tribune everyday plus enjoy reading a real book.

Tablets are to complicated for me, I'm still trying to figure out how to work this phone.

Paul you let my secret out that I'm a retired phone man. This is actually a working 1946 phone in my house. The case is made of steel and the handset weighs a couple of pounds.

I've got one older than that Bill. Found this pic on the web...and yes, it works. Date stamped 1923. Wooden terminal block inside and brass ringers.

Your picture is the same as my phone only my transmitter and receiver are combined into the handset. If you look closely at mine you'll see a little rectangle in the center where the transmitter used to be mounted. My phone has the 2 large brass ringers too and when the phone rings the wall actually vibrates. I don't have it hooked up put my oldest phone is from the 30's.

Hope you aren't still paying a leasing fee. My mom was paying for her phone into the 60's......
