Re: Old Amiga Magazines
« on: April 03, 2012, 04:22:57 AM »
I acquired about 250 issues of various amiga magazines earlier this year, and its probably my favorite amiga thing Ive gotten ahold of for quite some time. As mentioned already there's just so much good information in them that's not online as yet, and having the physical media is so much better than pdf scans (of which I have roughly 500 of as well).

Not sure "rare" is the right word, but there's stuff amongst what I got that Id not seen or heard of before. Besides the usual suspects (CU Amiga, Amiga Format, AmigaShopper (great mag by the way, Id never read it back in the Amiga's heyday), AUI, Amiga Computing, The One, ACAR, etc.) there was also stuff like AmigaDownUnder, OZ Amiga, 24Bit and Pieces, Amiga Workbench, and some others. Also some non amiga specific stuff and some c64 mags (with some great tutorials and technical docs too).

While Im still wrapped with my find, it has caused a few problems.
1. A bit of a swap card like compulsion has developed and I have a strong need to complete the sets of magazines I dont have every issue of.
2. The sheer wealth of information contained within is distracting me from actually doing anything with that information (that is to say Im spending way too much time reading, and not much doing) :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
