I should have Amiga Shopper scanned, OCR'd and available at RetroPDFs in the next few weeks. Watch this space :)

Let me just tell you how I love your Work !! seriously, How can you hav the patience to scan AND OCR all the mags, this is just Amazing. They're big, but man, they're top quality :-)


Thanks! Just to clarify, I haven't actually scanned most of the mags on the site so far - I've collected them from around the Interweb, done some minimal clean up a handful of the images and then OCR'd them all. The aim wasn't simply to rehost other's work; I was trying to create my own locally-searchable repository of all the old mags already scanned.

My hat comes off to all those who've scanned mags; I'm currently ploughing through 71 issues of Amiga Shopper, and it's a slow, soul-destroying process ... but it's all worth it to be able to bang a search term into Spotlight and have it find just the article you were looking for :)
