Disk based also would not work for some of us.
My personal preferences is that we have an option of a mailed copy or a
downloadable copy. An email notification with a login to get the copy
would work on my case. Most people who can get email should be able to
login to a web site and download. This would avoid trying to send a
large file to someone who's mailbox doesn't have room for it.
The only question I would think of, if the number of required printed
copies gets too small, does the cost for those go up?
Cheers,

What are the arrangement for these people, is the magazine going disk
based.

I would like the magazine kept the way it is now.
Not sure about downloadable version,. this would mean
non-subscribers would have access to the magazine.
But I guess this has been thought out.
Thought out, but not yet worked out. There are two possibilities. One
is bulk emailing and the other is a closed section on the website.
However no one on the Quanta Committee has experience of either so we
would have to have external expertise.
Downloading was thought up some years ago as a way of reducing costs,
and if I remember rightly came from members at an AGM. The magazine
is Quanta's biggest single expense. However savings would only be in
postage and not in printing. Obviously the printer has to make a
living and his only savings would be paper and ink costs,
Best Wishes,
Geoff
