So does anyone know the REAL reason why ELECTRONICS was bagged?  Was
it a case of "buy out the competition and shut it down" (the buyer
owns Electronic Design)?  Or did the staff get pissed off and take a
hike?  Or did the staff just get absorbed by a bunch of other
magazines?  Why buy a magazine to shut it down?
