We get to use this whole darn website and forum for free, well, free of $$, but not free of advvertising exposure which has value to Kalmbach and the other sponsors. It is kept in a tasteful balance, if you have pop-ups turned off. I think the PDFs ought to be free too, but to make it fair, it should come with a message from a sponsor that helps to defray the costs. When we buy the printed magazine, we are only partly paying for the cost of publication. Half or more of the $$ you spend on magazines goes to support your Local Hobby Shop, some goes to shipping, some to the publisher. The vast majority of the cost of putting out a magazine is supported by advertisers. I think its just fine to attach an ad to the PDFs and make them free to download. I read the ads in the magazines and always learn somethinf new. Most magazines published in the last 15 to 20 years were created digitally, NOT from paste and paper layout. The magazines are ALREADY in digital format!!!!!!!!! What conversion??? Most printers use PDF, or a compatable file easily converted with a few mouse clicks. <br /> <br />MR by the year , or in sets by the decade, YES YES YES, I have most of them from 1950 to the late 8os, and starting up again about 2000, I would love to have an indexed full set, I would gladly pay a hundred bucks, or maybe even 149.95 for the full set from the very begining.
