I came across some of my old Amiga World mags sometime ago and spent a good 45 minutes to an hour reading through them. I miss getting them in the mail and sitting down in front of my Amiga 500 and reading it and dreaming of havig more money to buy all the goodies.

+1,000,000

There was nothing like waiting for all those great Amiga magazines and drooling over the dozens of pages of paid advertising for all those Amiga peripherals that I couldn't quite afford at the time (but ended up getting most of them second hand later).

I would read those magazines over and over again within the first few weeks of getting them.  It was a very sad day when they stopped publishing many of my favorite Amiga magazines.  I still enjoy reading them now (specially since my alzhiemer's is kicking in, it makes them like new reading again) and I am still trying to complete my collection of many different Amiga and Video Toaster/Flyer related magazines, so if anyone has magazines they want to sell (or give away), please contact me.

I don't need a lot more magazines to complete my collection, as I probably have close to 1,000 magazines already, but you might have some that I am missing.  It is good to see that many people are preserving magazines online, so that valuable info is not lost completely over time.  I hope that is is always being done with proper permission of the publishers.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
