Re: Archiving old magazines on website

[coach41@pacbell.net (Donald Lee)]

It's a good idea as I would enjoy seeing magazines put out there
again:  Incider, A+, Incider/A+, Compute, even oldies like the OLD
Electronic Games magazine.

As long as copyrights are observed, I think it won't be a problem. 

I always wish I didn't get rid of some of my mags a few years back,
but I really had no place for them.

I am surprised with the advent of lots of 80's nostagalia via video
games, emulators, etc, etc. that some magazine publishers haven't put
out CD's with the magazines on them.  I'm sure there would be some
demand.  One can hope for a complete set of Apple II or other classic
magazines on CD.  :D
