In a previous thread I asked for a couple of specific pages from Byte magazine, which I
got (thanks to all, especially Peter, for helping out!) But that brings up a bigger issue
(no pun intended.)
About a year ago I found the Byte scans on
americanradiohistory.org and started reading
from the start. I found that those scans were less than great, with many missing pages,
pages out of order, pages scanned at resolutions too low to read, and a few other
problems. I went searching the web for other scans and, with a few exceptions for
individual issues, found that ALL the collections of scans seemed to be the same ones,
with the same bad pages.
I certainly appreciate the considerable effort of whoever did those scans, but I think
Byte is too important to not have good scans available. Perhaps a project to get those
good scans created would be something worthwhile for the members of this list to take on.
I realize what a huge project it is. Just going through the currently available scans to
find which pages are bad or missing is a large and time-consuming effort. But my opinion
is that it is important and worthwhile.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Will
