Mr. Undo Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) It’s great to have a platform like Archive.org and have such valuable material available to everyone. It’s very frustrating when you discover a material that could be perfectly shared on the internet but it was donated for example to a museum and there is no way to access it easily. This is the best way to preserve the information. Thanks for the sharing Allan! Edited March 15, 2021 by Mr. Undo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough getting Atari docs/magazines/manuals. People will bid high on this stuff and then put them in their closet. It gets really expensive after a while. I do wish more people would either step forward and scan stuff or at least let me borrow stuff to scan. For example, I just tried to get a couple of copies of Computer Shopper magazine. One issue on ebay went for $70. That's insane. I can't afford to pay those prices. I can guaranty you that they will look at it for a bit and throw it in the closet. These are oversized magazines so you need a large size scanner to scan them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather have them out there, digitally secure for all to see than stacked up and gathering dust. I remember Computer Shopper magazine! Didn't they get protested because each issue took a small rainforest to make? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I found this page that has some of the issues already scanned. https://commodore.bombjack.org/atari-st/st-magazines/st-informer/st-informer.htm Plus I think Atarimania.com has one issue also. http://www.atarimania.com/atari-magazine-st-informer_91.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mostly '93-'95 but not all of them (I didn't buy them religiously like ST Format but wished I did). I still have my Current Notes magazines that I read from time to time but with my worseing eyesight it's getting harder to read w/o bifocals, but I have no problems reading anything off a tablet or even computer screens.

Jinroh Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Awesome work with the new Current Notes issues. I should be able to start ripping Current Notes Disks again soon, when I get my SD -> ST HD unit. I can put them on Archive as well, I did not think of that when I ripped the first three, better to keep track of what we have and not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS Does it reflect on how sad an individual I am that I go back through these great 'ole mags sometimes, re-reading some of the super cool articles and fantasize how things might have been in an alternate timeline/universe where Atari won the computer wars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
