I am ashamed to admit I know just how many magazines can be torrented.
I havent got any of them, I just know they're out there.

You should really get that new all in one printer from lexmark, it has flash scan tech which reduces scan time to a few seconds a page.

I'm thinking about doing a similar thing, ripping all my DVD's (768) to hard drives. It'll be fun.

how do you know the publisher hasnt already done that and that you cant subscribe to it online, thus saving yourself years of pointless work?

Why subscribe to it when I have them all already? They are not all on line........ only some of the more recent years and you have to pay to get access to them.

It does not take that much time I did most of it in the first 2 years.

Indexing is another story.......... that's going to take a while.

True enough, I may start soon, but I could probably do four a year.

I really don't see the point...just stick the disk in when you want to watch it.

Video server sounds nice, til you have to build it

<==1200+ dvds amongst other shit.

I've done it before, it was awesome, all my DVD's streamed around the house, loved it. I'll do it again, just need some more storage space, buying some off my mate as we speak.



I'd rather do it myself.

lulz, storage is so cheap it's not funny. I have 16TB...
