Trying to organize all the magazines I picked up a bit ago, I came
across some issues of "Computer Notes". Jan 77, Jul-Nov 77, Jan 78.
They look like a Pertec company produced mag about Altair projects. Has
anyone ever heard of the magazine?

Yes, it's fairly well known to folks who either used Altairs back in the
day or collect them contemporaneously. They are definitely rare. A
complete set is not easy to come by. You have a nice run, but I believe
there were probably twice the number of issues printed as you have in
total.

This would be a tremendous asset to the Altair community. I have
some issues posted on my Web site, but there are a lot of holes. I do not
have any original issues -- only scans.
I'd hope that you would consider allowing them to be scanned and
posted to the Web. I run an Altair emulation project, and I would love to
have scans of these as part of the collection.

If you will hi-res scan them (or find someone who can), put them online,
and email me the link, I will donate the issues the Altair community in
your care.
Sadly, it looks like I can only add 2 issues you do not already have, but
you may find value in having the originals.
On a tangential notes, I finally sorted the magazines last night. An
entire stall of my garage is now littered with mags stacked by year and
magazine name.

Sadly no. I'm taking up the SO's garage space, so time is of the
essence. I'm already on borrowed time as it is dragging all this home.
It wasn't all that impressive. Just a bunch of clutter.
However, I'll take a snap of the trailer soon. My original idea was to
dump all the stuff in the trailer so I could hitch it up to the truck is
a pinch and get it out of the garage. Hwoever:
a) Not everything would fit in the trailer.
b) The stuff weighs too much. The tires are rated for 1000 pounds each
when fully aired up, and they are flattened. I need to put the trailer
on blocks to save the tires.
I found some first issues in the stacks, and have augmented my
collection quite a bit. It's taking a bit longer than I hoped because I
am trading up on my current copies of some mags if the new copies are in
better shape.
