Wow don't let it end like this. IMO you purchased the mags you have a right to them. F the copyright you are not selling the used mags.

It would be crazy talk to lock this thread. You need more magazines to scan? I'm sure ATOT could donate a few thousand for your project ;)

Well now, it looks like you'll hit 10,000 now for sure...

"Well played, sir." ;)

Seriously though, you better not pull this crap about locking the thread when you hit 10,001 unless you are truly finished scanning...... or else.

no....... the thread will morph into something else.

I was going to buy a Xerox Phaser solid ink printer....... but I guess I will spend the money somewhere else.

I finally know how you acquired you name AQUAMAN. If you are going to do this, there are special scanners that can automate the process and output the results as PDF instead of JPG and with Optical Character Recognition you will be able to search the articles using the search function built in to windows..

I look forward to your next endeavor.

btw i disagree with the copyright violation.

It falls under the fair use clause. He can do this as long as he does not sell or redistribute un-authorized copies. Get a nice water tight box and on a day with low humidity seal it up airtight then place it out of sight in your attic.
