Those PC magazines of your youth were little more than advertisements themselves :)

I remember buying Computer Shopper specifically because it was a giant tome of ads. Whenever it was time to upgrade I poured through it looking for the best deal and ogling all the cool stuff I couldn't justify buying.

Now that I think of it, it's sorta weird that despite ads being such an omnipresent nuisance these days there's not a website equivalent of that today.

And the Lab of Doom and Pepsi Cola. I really miss that magazine, too. It was my newsfeed for the latest computer technologies.
