[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by HighIron2003ar</i> <br /><br />I had several threads where I got involved talking and advocating going digital with MR issues. Mainly with scanning past issues all the way back to #1 and perhaps making them availible on CD sets. <br /> <br />The MR introduced a "Information Station" where you are able to pull articles for a price. <br /> <br />I have recieved both positive and somewhat damp comments from both sides. The biggest problem I think is related to money and staffing. The technology is not the issue. I "Download" my local Beebe News and Arkansas Democrat Gazette every day on the internet while comics are in another section. I get my fill of "Newspaper" daily this way without ever paying a cent at the paper box or vendors. <br /> <br />I do subscribe to MR and am in for 2 years, I get the issue before the hobby shop does here in America. I dont know how they transport mail to you way down under in Australia but I would think they can improve quality handling. <br /> <br />Maybe someday we will indeed "pull" the magazine via the internet directly out of Kalmbach's offices and no need for Ink and Magazine paper. But with the costs involved and I think the sheer pleasure of having a Magazine full of pictures and articles in your favorite chair beats hunching over the keyboard and coaxing a balky computer over a even slower internet connection (FTTH Where are ye?) <br /> <br />My two cents. I encourage you to hang in there! <br />[/quote]
