Comments on: The Newsstand That Spawned Microsoft is Set to Close http://technologizer.com/2009/01/02/the-newsstand-that-spawned-microsoft-is-set-to-close/ Reviews, News, and Opinion About Personal Technology by Harry McCracken & Friends Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:58:33 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Cathy http://technologizer.com/2009/01/02/the-newsstand-that-spawned-microsoft-is-set-to-close/comment-page-1/#comment-7052 Cathy Sat, 03 Jan 2009 14:09:39 +0000 http://technologizer.com/?p=6265#comment-7052 I remember going there during the 70s and looking at the really wide array of interesting stuff, including foreign periodicals that they stocked. But with the periodicals of the world moving to the web in an increasing speed, I don't know how they could survive. I'm sorry to see them go, I stopped by the last time I was in Boston and I'm glad I did now. And my tech prediction for the year is that all major magazine editors will quit their jobs and start websites.

(I first encountered it in the 1970s, and I'll bet it was an even bigger deal before that.) If it goes, I'll miss it, but its very name shows it's far less relevant than it once was--with every newspaper on the planet on the Web, there's no need to go out and buy "out of town" periodicals... --Harry Not sure how old you are, Relyt, but the golden age of Out of Town was a long time ago.
