I remember that.  I think the magazine that it was switched for was 
"heavy metal" or something similar.  I couldn't figure out what had 
actually happened until Steve Ciarcia used his column in the next 
edition to explain the mixup.  The company responsible to labelling and 
mailing the magazines mixed up the data files of the two subscriber 
bases.  We got the other magazine, but the company caught the problem 
before sending the circuit cellar to the other list so we eventually got 
circuit cellar as well.

Now I get the electronic edition and just remember to download it once a 
month.  It's actually much more handy than print since you can download 
the full magazine including ads, but also get the individual articles as 
seperate PDFs without ads.  Not to mention cheaper, especially when you 
get those $5.00 per year subscription codes.  I still miss reading it in 
print - the full magazine PDF is screen resolution, not print resolution 
- but all the important bits (articles, schematics, etc) are easy to 
read and see.

I wish I had all my old magazines in PDF.  Currently they're taking up a 
few file cabinet drawers.
