And now renamed to Electronics Now.

Here are some more that I haven't seen mentioned yet.

>Nuts and Volts       
Content: The want ads for the electronics underground.  Recently added some
article and columns, which range from trivial to incomprehensible, with some 
good stuff inbetween.
Disadvantage: A lot of ads ;-)

>Computer Applications Journal (also know as Circuit Cellar Ink)
Content: Practical applications of microcomputers, (with a higher quality of
engineering than the average in Radio-Electronics).  Along with some theory
articles covering things like how to synthesize holograms.  Like an
older copy of Byte, without the reviews (so it's about 1/4 the size ;-) ).

Trade Press magazines.

>Electronics Design
>EDN
>Electronics Products

Content: What's new and how to use it.
Disadvantage: Controlled circulation.  Qualify or forget it (or pay a lot
of money)

>Personal Engineering and Instrumentation News.
Content: Personal Computers as applied to engineering.  
    Interest areas -> Design and Development - CAD = EDA (Electronic
Design Automation), Logic Synthesis (PALASM, CUPL, ABEL), Compilers
                   -> Data Acquistion and Control - Data collection,
process control 
                   -> Test and Analysis - Logic analyzers plugins, 
Oscope boards, graphing and display.
Good columns on DSP, Embedded Techniques, etc.
Disadvantage: Mostly new product releases.
