"Having been putting out issues for 92 years now, Analog Science Fiction and
Fact
 stands as the longest continuously published magazine of its genre. It
also lays claim to having developed or at least popularized that genre in the
form we know it today. When it originally launched in December of 1929, it did
so under the much more whiz-bang title of Astounding Stories of
Super-Science
. But only three years later, after a change of ownership and the
installation as editor of F. Orlin Tremaine, did the magazine begin publishing
work by writers remembered today as the defining minds of science fiction."

Via Esther Schindler, who wrote "Well there goes YOUR free time for a while."
