Blake Patterson<p>So very sad to me. Maximum PC magazine (previously known as "boot") is no longer in print. Before I setup my gaming PC it kept a Mac user aware of the PC state of the art. Since building one, it was even more useful. </p><p>My thing was, I'd buy an issue at an airport every time I flew - a few issues a year. That was enough. They're all on the shelf, past 20 or so years. I looked in every mag stand in my Memphis trip we just finished - no one had it. Then, I searched on the issue. :-/</p><p>Online, but no print issues. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/pcgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcgaming</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/pc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pc</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MaximumPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaximumPC</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/pctech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pctech</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/magazines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>magazines</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/computers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computers</span></a></p>
