I adored the stash of Omni in our secondary school library - easily learned more about the scientific method and how interesting technology could be than the rote chemistry of actual science class.

I had a subscription to that, but finally tossed my copies not long ago. So glad that there is an archive

And, notably, a *phenomenally* well paying market for SF stories. I think both OMNI and PLAYBOY paid $2000 flat, in a world where everyone else paid $.03/word. Guccione got old pro Ben Bova to be the first SF editor, and the quality showed.
