So I'll renew my call for IRUG newsletters. I have a bunch of WARUG issues
I need get online... it's a bit of a shame they were forced out of DECUS
and had to restart as IRUG since that cut over happened while i was at
college and the material around the change went to a dead address 😞.
The R in the above is short for DEC Rainbow, of course.

Just a 'survey' sort of question - how
much value do you guys put in
vintage
copies of old newsletters, magazines, etc. I'm talking mid-1970s, like
People's Computer Company, etc. Someone has been selling them one at a
time
on ebay and they routinely go for $125+ each! Was PCC fairly low
circulation? I have no idea how rare these things are - if I should just
dive in to have my memento or wait. Looking at auction history it seems
to
be the same group of 2 or 3 bidders going nuts
over them.
One newsletter I would love to find an original copy of is Micro-8.. but
I
think the circulation on that was just a hundred
or so, so probably
unlikely. It has some blurbs from Grant Runyan in there, who built my
TVT
and Mark-8.
But yeah, I just wondered if you guys think generally this stuff *should&
be
considered valuable - given most/all is archived online.
