Great job man, looks awesome. If your ultimate plan is to have the entire
mags scanned, I can't wait!

Regardless of how it turns out, please make sure to provide text or
text-aware file formats, like PDF that has been OCR'd, or DjVu (no OCR'd
text, but separates text and background graphics and compresses each

As for approaching it the right way, tell ZD about your project and ask
that you are willing to host the pages, do all the scanning, tell them
you'll offer pages in multiple formats, etc. and that all you ask in
return is permission from the company to do so.
However, you
Hehe. You may be willing to cut up my magazines, but I'm not! Well, I'd
cut up duplicate issues. It probably wouldn't be too difficult for
issues 25 and up, but the earlier ones can be difficult to find.
I guess the options are...
Stick to covers/ToC - ZD is probably less likely to notice and
Have you considered the time it would take to scan 100 magazines? :eek:

Actually the early CGW issues had a number of articles about Muse.
RobotWar was a popular topic - CGW held about 3 or 4 annual RobotWar
tournaments. Castle Wolfenstein also came up a number of times.
Nice job on Wolf, you made the cutoff by 2 issues. :-)

Yes, I have LOL. But it's not so bad if it's progressively. A few now,
a few then... might take a year to get all of them up. But yes... it
would require lots of time, space, and bandwidth. So right now the
status quo is much easier. :-)

Stephane,
Here's an idea -- arandom article of interest
scanned in and put on the site weekly! Would be a cool thing to
have.

Hugh,
I'm actually not familiar with the mini-reproduction you're talking
about. Is it an actual paper reproduction or something on a CD? I do
have issue 200 but I don't believe it had anything special with it. Of
course, I got it second-hand so it is quite possible that it was
missing.
I'll
Just checkedit was definitely the
200th issue (March 2001). The reproduction is paper and
basically the same size as an SSI catalog. You can see it here:

However, it is only 14 pages and contains
only excerpts from the original
That's
odd...I'm a subscriber and I'm pretty sure I didn't get this
reproduction.

What a
bunch of jerks. BTW, CGW screwed me again recently by not sending me the DVD
they issued instead of the CD that month (I think it was January). When I called
and asked them to send it, they said OK, then sent me the December and February
CDs instead.
