2600: Spring Issue and Important Update

Wow, this is heartbreaking to read. It's been 2 decades since I last bought a copy of 2600 but I always enjoyed reading it and would digest each of the articles as best I could, often struggling to figure out wtf they were talking about. But I knew it was something special and almost forbidden, which made for a really unique experience.

I'll probably buy a digital copy just to chip in, would be sad to see 2600 disappear after so long.

2600 is by far the only physical magazine I will purchase when I see it on a shelf.

I even requested that a local bookstore begin carrying it and they thankfully did.

I currently subscribe to the digital issue, but I’ll be subscribing to the physical issue now.

I know they say there are worthy causes - but I would happily outright donate money to keep 2600.

I think it may be beneficial if they published what their expected loses were, and perhaps had a donation counter. These are both effective ways to motivate people to give.

It would be a crying shame to see 2600 go the way of LinuxJournal.

I’ll never forget the sound of a CPU popping smoke at a local 2600 meeting, back in the day. That was one unhappy camper.

I am confused by this - how do I know what I'm buying if there's not a single article available? Or is it one of those things where if you have to ask what it is, it's not for you?

I was a subscriber for a few years in the 2000s but let it lapse. Just got a lifetime subscription. I hope they survive.
