I've got a ton of mags, as has everyone I suppose. The thought of scanning
them all is frightening, but the thought of losing them forever is just as
frightening.

  Re: the moire problem, I have a Umax Vista S8 which does a wonderful job
whatever the origin, so I will jot down the technique next time I scan a
mag.

Re: distribution. Why not tag a ride on the coattails of Napster? Once each
of us gets enough stuff scanned, we could rename the files .mp3 and use
Napster to distribute them. Want Tpug June '83? Search for tpug683.mp3 and
change it to .pdf once you get it. I think you get the picture...

Re: .pdf creation. Several apps can save documents as .pdf, so you don't
have to go with the Adobe original. Illustrator is one example, and I
thought Word did too, might be mistaken.

An admirable but overwhelming project, best of luck! Copying the Bible by
hand must have seemed just as overwhelming to the monks of the middle-ages
but they did it.... one page at a time.
