I have avoided addressing this, but I think I must. Due to a wish to avoid copyright violations, improper and unauthorized distribution of published materials, I can't give permission for, or approve of, copying the magazines and distributing them. I retain the sole right to reproduction.
Having said that, anytime I have explored reproducing some, there is insufficient interest to support the quantities of reproduction required to make it practical, in hard copy replicas of originally published magazines.
It would be possible to scan copies, and in later issues make pdf files, all of which could be put on a CD. The problem with that is that everyone has CD copying abilities, that all of the work in making the original CD would, I am afraid, be lost due to all of the sharing that would occur.
If ever there was a copy protected CD technology, I would explore the production of an archival CD. Until then I could not afford the risk of the enormous amount of labor it would take to produce such a thing.
My advice is to subscribe and keep them.....
I do appreciate the compliment in the discussion. This is now the 20th year of production, and I thank you all for your support and enthusiasm. It has been quite a ride.
