:-(
I canceled my subscription about 10 years ago as I never had time to
read it much and when I did, I was no longer learning anything. ALE has
the same problem - new ways of interaction leaving the old ways behind
(even though the new ways are THE SAME THING just with a different skin
applied - looking at YOU, Slack)
Back in the day, (oh crap, I'm officially old) the section on web
technologies was always a joy as well as all the security articles. I
never did find any article written less than very well and the editing
was also top-notch.
Some years ago I donated all my back issues. Don't recall where. 
At least 2600 is still in print.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain
