Well I do not have any magazines but I believe I do have a spare Commodore 128D owners manual. You know, the big thick spiral bound one.
Any obstacle can be an opportunity, try a different perspective.

JimS: yea..whats up w/those cd's... what did you do? scan every page ?  how about a copy? LOL.


Yes, I scanned most every page. At first it was manual, so I omitted a lot of ads and such. There are a very few imports where I only scanned the articles I was interested in. A friend found me a surplus scanner with an autofeed that needed a little repair. So I would cut the spine off the magazine and run the pages through. Zap... recycled paper. :-)  I have thought about making them available, but it would probably be illegal. :-/

That must have been an enormous project to undertake! Any chance of sharing those CD's?  :-D


Well, it wasn't so bad once my friend found that autofeed scanner. The biggest problem was the early AmigaWorlds and the European magazines which were wider than the scanner's image area. It would almost certainly be illegal to sell the collection. Pity though, I would like to see it online somewhere - somewhere with bandwidth to spare. :-)
