[R-390] Magazine Storage

Sun, 08 Jun 2003 18:10:49 -0400

If you insist.
 There are cardboard and plastic magazine holders available from most office
supply stores.  They are reasonable priced.
Each will hold a years worth of your favorite magazine.  The sides of the
holder will keep the magazines from warping.
Vertical stacking will lead to tearing as one retrieves the bottom issue.

The ARRL CD-ROMS from the 60's back are B/W, low resolution with a klugy
search engine.  They are print only.  If you want to send an article to a
friend it is print, scan, send.  No cut and paste.
The later QST CD-ROMs and the HR CD-ROMs were done by a different vendor and
are of much higher quality.
The ARRL WEB site allows you to do global searches of all QST's and HR's.
i.e.: a search for "Collins" will return all articles going back to the
thirties.

I do miss taking out an old issue and browsing, but I freed up a lot of
shelf space. Browsing on a screen is also nice and if you have a laptop it
will follow you into the head.  (that IS what we are talking about)

BTW, Little or no market for the old issues, they went into the trash.
