I would love to see it! Even if they only went as far back as they have in electronic format, it would be much more than we have now. Say 30 or 40 years, on a few CD's indexed would be a great help to me. I too am not going to pay what they are asking for the pdf files for a single article-just too much for the return. But I would be willing to invest some hard earned money in the files of several years worth. As far as copyright, that is always a danger with any form of media. Nothing stops someone from taking a print copy of MR to a photocopier and making several copies of it-even though that is illegal. Part of business is recognizing this and trying to limit the losses, while reminding consumers that they have a moral obligation not to give away "property" that does not belong to them. Editors, if you are out there, think about this idea I love it!

I think that would be great, if I had a computer. As is, I don't especially care. I think it's a good idea, though.
