I wouldn't take the lack of response as anything negative. It's probably just more a case of people not saying the usual "Oooh yeah, gee, thanx, k" posts found on other sites. Rest assured any work you did to scan in these mags would be greatly appreciated and you would no doubt see that in posts after scanning. The archiving of historical documents and software is very important to all involved in the Vic scene. After all, there's not that many people into the Vic to do it - just ask ral-clan!gungahlin wrote:Due to the spectacular lack of response.... no.Pedro Lambrini wrote:@ Gungahlin: Have you had any luck scanning the othe Vic Computing mags, at all?
It's a small, sometimes slow, community here in Vic-Land and we often hear empty promises from people so we tend not to say too much until we see something worth while. I don't mean to sound patronising, I'm just trying to share my experiences here at Denial.
So, on behalf of the Vic community, please carry on with scanning these mags. It will be appreciated - watch out for all the downloads!!

I agree wholehearedly with Pedro Lambrini. Please, please, pretty please scan the magazines! I love reading old computer mags and the VIC is underrepresented among the ones available as PDFs on the net.

I would be happy to host the magazines on my server (free of charge), with dedicated subdomain and FTP for the "subdomain manager." I did this a while ago for someone who needed reliable server space to host his ANALOG Atari mag scans. Everything, including the web presentation, would be up to whomever uploads the content... I'm only offering server space.
Torrents are cool, but some of us are stuck with ISPs that restrict torrent bandwidth, making torrents for me unreliable at best. Making these accessible on a server would be awesome

This was a test and won't be up for long.
I think I'll have to remove the staples to scan it properly.
Pity I don't have access to an A3 scanner, it would make life easier.
Thanks for scanning this issue of Vic Computing, it brought back a lot of memories. It was great to see an original Audiogenic advert with all the Vic Pack numbers as well!
I would love to see some more if you have time to scan please?
