<p>There were discussions on these forums about a year or so ago which advocated placing all of MR's issues onto CD Rom. The PDF downloads availible today (For a cost) I think is a result of that.</p><p>I for one wont mind getting digital copies of each and every MR made on a few disks with each page properly reproduced and sorted by year in 10 year sets. It probably will not happen in my life time.</p><p>In the mean time Im slowly going through my stack of magazines and getting ready to scan onto the hard drive articles I want to keep and throw the rest of the space consuming (In some cases rotting) magazines away, keeping only the few "Good" ones such as the last several years worth.</p><p>I think some of the problems were copyrights, royalties and cost of manpower, equiptment and time to digitize all of the Magazines dating back to day one. Who knows if all of us scanned what we do have availible into a common server host and filled in the missing ones over time we might have a database freely accessible by anyone on these forums. But again it may bypass alot of the Information Station PDF's Kalmbach is offering for a price and may not be acceptable here.</p>
