Same here - I've spent weeks on that website reliving my youth. My dad had a subscription from the 60's to the mid 70's, then my brother had a subscription, and then I had a subscription until it merged with Poptronix/Hands On Electronics. Electronics Illustrated, Elementary Electronics and Popular Electronics were newsstand buys for my dad - the Navy Exchange had them for a quarter back then.
Radio Electronics had the sexist tag line "For men with ideas in Electronics"
Popular Electronics had a female sailor (WAVE) on it's cover.
Electronics Illustrated had a bikini clad girl (ala Laugh-In) on it's cover in the late 60's.
Elementary Electronics had an article "the birds and bees of connectors" - all about male and female connector types.
Popular Electronics could be counted on for their April Fools column. (contrapolar energy - plug in the soldering iron and it freezes over....)
Ah, my youth....
Cheers,
