[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ErnieC Interesting thread. I have issues from the 40's and it looks like I'm the only one who likes to curl up with an old issue on a quiet evening and enjoy the mag for the memories and insights it offers[/quote] I do that from time to time myself, I just doubt that I need 500 old issues to curl up with. . . I've also found that I have more affinity in this regard to magazines I bought new - reliving old memories, I guess. Ones I bought en masse later just don't have a personal connection. [quote]QUOTE: [Something else no one has mentioned, the old issues contain irreplacable articles on the prototype, first hand descriptions of things no longer available, otherwise you are stuck with the desert landscape of the contemporary scene. [/quote] Well maybe no one mentioned it directly, but I'd agree that's true. It's also true that I would probably save those articles - or at least a goodly number of them. KL
