[PCTweaker5]

Geez dude! Are you gonna have these printed out or just on your PC? I didnt want to read the whole thread.

For the love of god, I hope you're backing up these files MANY MANY MANY times.
In MANY places.

good luck

there are warez-type book groups that you could collude with...
with cooperation of others that put forth similar effort..
many nice periodicals from the past could be collected /traded / archived for posterity.

How much disk space are these things taking up so far? If you'r ehalf done and have high quality JPGs that's gotta be huge.

Good God Aquaman, i know there is no hockey right now, but have you resorted to this?

 

[JoeKing]

You know, I'd think this would be some form of geek torture in hell... but you're doing in voluntarily :Q

must be the fish fetish we've all heard about

If I ask for a show of hands of how many people actually care about this thread, how many hands will I see?

That looks like a lot of work.

I wonder if after donating them, you might have to delete your pdf's?..Just in case the Magazine Publishing Industry Nazis slap on a lawsuit

aquaman, i think your money would have been better invest in nhl2004 or 2005 and a gamepad More likely to have been less time consuming (even thoug it's why i'm still up)

I definately admire your integrity aquaman! I to would have a hard time giving up something i enjoy. Housing that many magazines would be quite confining however. I love aquatic life, and own a small 10 gallon aquarium of my own. I hope to turn it salt water soon.
