There was another very cool magazine in the early 90s, Midnight Engineering. Essentially a magazine for startups, though I remember it being hardware focused. It was a 1 man operation. One guy put it together, wrote most of it, did the layout, sold the ads, and perhaps most impressively (or insanely) printed it all himself. He bought this whole giant printing press system and ran it himself. Had a fascinating series of articles on everything that was involved in getting that up and running.
