Well, considering the one here in the lab lasts exactly 2-3 scans before breaking...

Heh.

(actually, I've developed a technique to make it work for 1-2 more)

Oh, and what's the cubic footage on these magazines? Square feet of page? Number of pixels?

I'll bet you don't even throw them away once you're done :p

holy crap, i remember this thread from waaay last year when it only had a few posts. I remember back then "man this guy's crazy, or will go crazy doing it lol." Then I remember seeing this thread pop up couple months ago. I thought "who the hell is bumping." Ever since I saw it last year, I haven't entered until now hahaha.


BIG props to you aquaman for undertaking this 1-2 yr project :thumbsup:. Crazy perserverence.
