Hi and welcome to Amiga.org
 
I'm in the far south in Tasmania!  I have a CD32, Amiga 1200 in a rack and a Mac Mini with a trial version of Morphos.
 
I have over 100 original Amiga games, just about all books on Programming Amos (quite a few issues of the Aussie Amos Newsletter) and in the process of getting every single issue of Amiga Format and the annuals, have issues 1 to 96 and 136 (having spent about $300 on doing this, I must be an Amiga nut).  I'm the owner of www.amigaformat.com (currently with no hosting) and will be in the process of scanning almost 100 magazines in the next couple of months to pdf format.  
 
Enjoy your stay, you're in good company!

Yes, I scanned over 10000 pages in on a flatbed scanner, so I probably qualify :-) http://www.racevb6.com/acar/
 
 
 
Was there some scandal I never heard about...!? maybe Phil Campbell, his reviews were always crap...

I'm in the process of scanning Amiga Format, you must of had plenty of patience, but a big thank you for preserving that.  I've got some few issues of ACAR and will take a look to see if I've got any of the missing ones if you like?
 
I've scanned one issue and on a A3 scanner it took about 10 minutes to do the scans, so I understand the work that must of gone into scanning so many issues!  Once again thanks!  Perhaps you should look at putting them on DVD as I would certainly buy it :-)

Well just went through all the ACAR magazines I had and guess what I found.....issue 1 (just scanned the cover see attachment).
 
The rest of the ones you've already got. I'll scan it for you this week so you can put it up there on your web site.
 
Let me know where you would like me to deposit some mulah for a copy of the DVD.
 
I am hoping to have issues 1 to 12 of Amiga Format by the end of July 2011.

Okay I've scanned issue one of the Australian Commodore Review (no Amiga back then) where would you like me to email it to?  (I've split it up into 10mb chunks, it is around 15 megabytes in size).
 
Also am happy to drop some money into your paypal account to get a copy of all the issues that you've gone.

Issue 1 of ACAR has been scanned and emailed :-)
 
Also I have got issues 1 to 13 of Atari ST / Amiga Format coming my way to scan!
 
Does anyone have the Amiga Format Special that was included in the Dynamite Amiga 1200 pack?
