If that's the case (and I don't think it is), then there's no need for books or magazines, and no reason to be upset when they stop being published.
>I learn every day. From posts here on the UT, the wiki, MSDN, WWWC, Google, etc. I don't see the advantage of a paper magazine. They get lost, and even if It is in my file cabinet I spend more time to walk to it, search for the appropriate issue, browse through the pages for the relevant article, and file it again, compared to do a simple search on the UT.

In general, I use books and magazines differently than I use online forums. The Internet is for answers to what I need to know today, now. Reading books and magazines is to get a grasp on new technologies or things I'm not yet using and just to fill my head with the possible.
Now, part of the difference between your perception and mine may have to do with learning styles. I learn best by reading(not listening), and tend to remember visual cues to where I read something. That is, I can usually tell you whether it was in a book or a magazine, and where it was on the page.
Oh, and I, too, have degrees in Computer Science, both a masters and a doctorate.
