What a great public service! Loved that magazine back in the day. Just read the editorial in the last issue. So sad, especially knowing what was yet to come!

Wow! That is awesome!

I notice a lack of Amiga "three ring binder" manuals from your list there.  Do you need those? I know I've got the manuals that came with my A1000 -- in the very least: AmigaDOS 1.0, Graphicraft, Textcraft (i did see that one there), ABasic (not a typo), AmigaBasic (same as the one you have there, i think)

Also a 1.1 (i think?) addendum to the 1.0 release, or was it an addendum packaged with the 1.0 software.  It's been a while since I looked at those huge binders.

Coming Soon means exactely that
 
In between my last projects I had 2 days at home. Just enough time to get laundry done and pack.
 
I will get the issues shown with pictures that have already been scanned posted in the new week or so.
 
I wanted to get the main page upload for Video Toaster User so people could see what I have and what is missing.
 
Glad to see there is interest in these.

Future Publishing are very aggressive about their IP appearing for download/sale on the internet so you will have a long wait ;)

To be fair to them, as they explained it to me, the issue is not that they don't want to allow the various Format or other Future owned Amiga related publication issues to be made available but the freelance contributions in ST or Amiga Format to which they only had permission to produce once...in the actual magazine at the time of printing, therefore they don't have the authority to allow someone else's copyrighted works to be distributed in any form and so will never give their blessing for such projects.

I had considered doing AF but the situation with Future is not a big incentive to be honest....especially not the ham fisted charge matrix ebay now applies to people who want to sell magazines on ebay with their ridiculous min postal charge fees enforced, making acquiring the missing issues quite laborious and expensive.

(nobody can sell bulk lots of mags like in the past now as the max postal charge is something stupid like 2 bucks and their fees are so pathetic selling them one by one isn't worth the effort for most I guess...idiot ebay lol)

Thanks for posting these magazines.  I was a contributing writer for "Amazing"
back in the late 80s/early 90s and it's great to see that these old mags are
still appreciated and being preserved.
