Yes, I believe the January Issue was the last issue.
Circuit Cellar is another good mag, targeted more
toward professional engineers. N&V lost something when
it went to the small format, but still is a good
hobbyist mag. Midnight engineering was promising, but
I think its publisher (Bill Gates) couldn't manage the
day to day business tasks.
