[R-390] HSN Status -- and a poll

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I'm the one that started the whole back issue thing. It was not part of 
Barry's initial post. I threw it in because it would  be of significant 
value to me. I do not have a collection of the back issues. I don't 
know what digital format the old issues exist in (if any). If it's 
something like Quark or Pagemaker then turning them directly into pdf's 
should be possible. If they are a "only exist in paper form" thing then 
scanning them would be a bit of a pain. I more or less assumed they 
still exist in digital form ....

I didn't elaborate on the idea but I was thinking that selling the back 
issue images at something like 50 cents or a dollar a copy would make 
sense. Keep the price low enough that it's way below the threshold of 
pain but high enough to pay for the effort. You can't mail a print copy 
for that kind of money so electronic distribution makes sense.

	Take Care!
