 | I'm a long time reader of Popular Science! Remember OMNI magazine? 
 Talk about your legs falling asleep while you are reading on the john...

 | My bedroom used t'be STACKED w/Omni magazines!! I think I pretty much had every issue.
 ArtC.Clarke used t'write some great articles!
 
 I seem t'remember having like the "pre-premiere" issue . . .
 
 It had ANOTHER(different) name. I wanna say Discovery(?) Oddysey(??) . . I forget. I bought it at a Manhattan newsstand. Two weeks later, the premiere issue of "Omni" was out. Was the same mag, just a different title . . .
 
 Didn't Omni originate from the UK??
 Mebbe there was a US/UK differentiation?? . . .

 | Per Wikipedia: 
 "OMNI was launched by Kathy Keeton, long-time companion and later wife of Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione. Before launch it was referred to as Nova, but the name was changed before the first issue to avoid a conflict with the PBS science show of the same name."
