Contrary to what scandia101 might have you might believe, "Scientific American" is still actively publishing new material; I have last month's issue open on my coffee table as I write this.I'm betting that when unitron said "Scientific American" he meant to say "Scientific Atlanta" as the former doesn't exist.
Unfortunately I can no longer use it to turn off my TV because it (my TV, not the magazine) no longer has an external button accessible to thrown objects.
