My memories of Popular Electronics is around seeing the diagrams for a simple microcomputer, the Cosmac Elf which was based on RCA's 1802 CPU. I begged my mother for an advance on my pocket money, sourced the parts and wire-wrapped it all together over a Christmas break. Best money she ever spent, software and computers turned into my career and still is today.
