Computer Shopper scans?

Ain't life complicated at times... The UK one (which is the one the museum's been offered) was well known for being very full of ads - with not much in the way of actual useful journalism - but that doesn't really rule out it being the one you're alluding to (I don't think I ever read it prior to 1990 or so, so I never got to see it in the glory days of computing) FWIW though, it is difficult to decide what to accept and what not. If space was infinite, it'd be accepted and all go onto archive shelving and be there "just in case", but in the real world that's just not practical :-( It's logical to me for a computer museum to be first port of call when it comes to researchers looking for computer magazines - but at the same time the anticipated demand for advertising-heavy "generic" computing magazines in comparison to other printed material out there is anticipated to be extremely low. Having them in scanned form would at least preserve the information "just in case" whilst not taking up physical space - but it'd be a heck of a scanning effort (I'm not even convinced they'd go through a sheet-fed scanner actually, the paper was so thin and clay-heavy). cheers Jules
