Amiga Format time to PDF them!

[asymetrix]

I got the supplements of Underground-gamer but they are the same as the one on bomberjack yes.
To bad bomberjack do not have many issues of the magazine.

Im still in need of missing Magazine issues

It would be great if you can share the magazine pdfs you have. torrent ?

I also have alot of physical magazines and PDFs which i will probably upload to mirrorcreator.com.

Only by working together can we get a complete Amiga Format magazine collection set up.

Im thinking add to the list on EAB with a complete list, listing any missing issues.

I'm all for the Archive.org idea as well. That site is just awesome, that's all there is to it!

Great idea!

I am thinking of setting up a file server containing all my TB of Amiga related material, I just have to organize it before it go public, also I have to sort out the software that still are being sold to avoid getting hate

Im also in process of switching ISP for higher upload speed since my servers and seedboxes are quite heavy used atm and I got little to none bandwith over (the biggest thief is my seedboxes, damn you retro oriented torrent sites)

So give me time and all I got will be avaliable to Amiga.org

I'd love having every issue of Amiga Format even if I have to donate a couple of bucks. Wonderful!!!

As Digiman said, 150 DPI should be enough but I'd like to add something.

..

I'd try to go for at least 300 DPI. It would be noticeably better on a good screen. Also, one day, someone might do proper OCR.

Great - cant wait.

In the meantime I will upload what I have to Mirrorcreator.com, I will announce here when its done.
 
If anyone can contribute missing PDFs, upload it and post a link here.

@orange

We dont need 300 DPI for OCR. 150-150 DPI is fine.

It would be interesting to know what people plan to do with OCR versions.
I could OCR the PDFs, but to search multi pdfs for text is something we dont have.
A better solution would be to rip the text out as raw text.

This raw text people could use in some database/structure for data stream to apps or export to other file formats.

For now :

1, Amiga Format issues to be uploaded
2, validate, check all pages correct
3, note poor quality issues/ pages and reupload
4, OCR

The reality of life is holding me up, have a 14 month old baby, a pregnant wife

This is a great idea, I can pitch in what I got.

I got all floppies in ADF also I got 89 of the 136 magazines scanned and saved in PDF.
I also got some supplement issues and subscribers newsletters scanned and saved in PDF.

I got the following Amiga Format issues:
1-3, 12, 17-21, 23, 26-27, 29-38, 40-63, 65-85, 87-94, 97-98, 102, 105, 108, 120, 136.

So I am missing 47 issues I would love to have.

I got the following supplement/subscribers newsletter issues:
AF Backstage (sub newsletter): 58-68
Amiga CD Format: Supplement issue: 51
AF Buyer's guide: Supplement issue: 54
AF Comic Relief: Supplement issue: 43
The Best Of The Amiga: Supplement issue: 27
Exploring Real 3D: Supplement issue: 77
Get Into the Net With Your Amiga: Supplement issue: 65
Get Into Your CDROM With Your A1200: Supplement issue: 65
Get the Most Out Of Your Amiga: Supplement issue: 42
Sound & Vision: Supplement issue: 30

That's what I got and can share, I would love to get the missing issues!

I also have a huge collection of AF magazines in the loft too but but no idea exactly what is on usenet and what quality is of the mags already scanned (I don't have a usenet subs) plus I am just a bit let down with the whole Amiga community in general this last year or so and never really thought about scanning them. Did do some extra special CVG supplements for the community though as for some reason 8bit groups do not fight like the ST/Amiga groups

lol, im in a similar position, my daughter is 17 months old and the wife is 2 months pregnant - it's intentional for us tho as we dont want a big gap between our 2 kids like some of our friends have done, as their kids are just to far apart in age to play with each other.

My partners daughter is 5 and we're trying to decide whether to have a child now so they'll be close enough age-wise, or to wait until we finish college in three years. What age gap are you seeing that causes that problem? If you don't mind sharing

Thanks,
Ten

4-7 years seems to be problematic in the sense that the older child just isn't interested in playing with the "baby" - there's no antagonism, it's just that the older child has very different interests.

I can recall myself being 7 years older than my little sister and I almost had no idea who she was until she became an adult. with my brother there was 5 years difference and I just found him annoying for the most part but my sister that is only 14 months younger than myself, we got on great.

Now that we are all adults it's a different story tho, we all get along very well.

Here is an updated list of Amiga Format Magazines from USENET and other places.

I hope to complete the collection with your help.

Any remaining issues I will scan more myself to hopefully have a full set.

If you do download, please contribute and mention errors or bad scanned pages.

cheers and have fun

Cheers djos. That's what I'm thinking - she says she'd love a baby sister/brother but I can see her developing very fast and I doubt it will last.

NICEEEEEEE
On behalf of me and my scanner, we thank you.
I can now recycle all that papper in the house-storage-room.
I was digitizing everything, but it's just too slow and painfull.

Now I have more storage space to address

[SirGraham]

Thank you very very much for having carried out the huge task about scanning our lovely Amiga Format. I can now read so many issues I missed (and so does my brother).

On that WEB, download instructions are not correct but it's easy to download them.

Life is wonderful!!!!!

:roflmao::cool:

PD: pls, he who has any missing issue, upload. Thx.
