Terrible web site. I subscribe to Popular Science magazine, and I thought this site would be a compliment to the magazine. NOT! I was just trying to find the web site that was listed for the dog fighting RC Helicopters in the November 2010 (I think) issue. I have to keep fighting with the Stupid Roll Over at the top of the screen, and the search doesn't come up with anything. And, I don't see any way to look at back issues.
I agree with the previous writer. I am a subscriber to PS mag and I was trying to find an article on entertaining to help a friend on planning a party for the holidays. But I was stymied at every turn.
Should it be so difficult?
