"Expert"
I'm guessing that it is not generally a good idea to give out your company's info in order to get a subsription for these magazines. What are the consequences of subscribing to a couple of these magazines? Will we start getting SPAM through the fax, phone, e-mail, you name it? Are there any catches? If there are any free and riskfree Design, Engineering and/or CAD magazines available in Canada could someone please let me know?
Thanks, Loopers
You must have told the truth the 2nd time, Scott. These mags don't give you subscriptions unless you're an engineer AND at least head of purchasing for a big company.

Yes, but just to prove that we spoke today, in what city were you born?
I get machine design as "design engineer".
Maybe they figured that, as owner, you won't be doing any designing. They even send it to the apartment. That reminds me, I need to give them a change of address to the house before the forwarding wears off on the appartment.
