I'm glad to see that other peaple feal like me about this magazine. I get
this magazine for over 10 years now, but lately, it became too comertial
for me and most of the projects are imposible to be built or use ideas for
some other project without buying a project component from them.

they also publish literature that claim to be of high quality, but, last
time I got a book out of their new ELEKTOR ELECTRONICS LIBRARY regarding
the ST62, it was full with errors, typing errors and was of lower quolity
then basic Microchip documentation. I returned the book with a long list
of complaines, they returned the mony, but, did not bothered to answer my
complaines.
