Re: Archiving old magazines on website
FYI to anyone who is intersted, I have talked with IDG (which owns the rights
to Kilobaud MicroComputing, Hot CoCo, inCider, RUN, and PC Jr. World)
and they are not willing to let any of those magazines be archived online.
As for Compute magazine, www.atarimagazines.com has permission for that
and is actively working on getting it online. We will have something to
show for it soon.
