A 3-holed punched magazine is not impportant to me. I store my issues of WCI in a magazine storage box - they're cheap, come in foldable packages from Staples and suit me better than 3-ring "big" binders.

It costs more than $20,000 per year just to have the issues three-hole punched. At four issues per year - that's $5,000 per issue.

I keep mine in a binder, therefore, I prefer holes.
But I can live without.

At that expense that makes the decision for no holes easy. NO HOLES is my vote. Merle

those magazine storage boxes look like a good idea....I just have mine on a shelf, but they will fall over etc and difficult to read the spline.....I will have to take a look at the office supply next trip! No holes either way for me.

Hi Dave

We used the magazine storage boxes at work and never had a problem with them flopping over. Buy extra boxes and don't stuff the boxes--leave the mags room to breathe. The boxes fall apart when you pick up a box crammed with too many magazines! Sheesh! Ya think even one o' these engineers I work with should be able to figger dat out! Guess they're too busy playing with their trains!

I use the holes because they are there, but with the "other" magazine I use those three ring binder "thingies" to put them into binders.

So, stay or go I will still put them into binders.

We could compromise, and you could cut 1 1/2 holes. I know the people who would do the job too. I had plenty of people working with me who were reknowned for doing half jobs (except breaks...they took extra care and achieved extra break time).
