I used to get National Geographic at my office, and take home the old issues. I think I'll resubscribe. Our storage area is about 15'x25', concrete slab, that ought to be good for a few decades worth, and then there's the garage. My favorite issues are the ones with the archeological digs, those are always so gorgeously photographed. You know they have all the issues on CD-Rom now, but it's just not the same. I think one of the universal experiences of American middle-class childhood is cutting out pictures from the National Geographic for school projects. I guess you could still do that from the CD-Rom if you have a color printer, but I'm not sure.

As I remember, really old NG's only had ads for boy's boarding schools -- Fork Union, etc. We boys decided that our parents subscribing was a subtile form of threat.
