I got a chance over the Xmas break to pack and throw out a lot of outdated computing magazines. Deciding which magazine to keep and which to throw out, was easy. I kept anything of algorithmic importance. Essentially this means that I kept just about every copy of Dr Dobb’s Journal that I had ever purchased. I was quite sad, to read today that Dr Dobb’s Journal is no longer a publication of its own - it will now be a section in InformationWeek.
