Thanks for posting this up, great stuff to read and it really takes you back. BITD I never used to think that there was such a divide between north and south but you can really tell it when you read the old mags :D.

A quick question, can your scanner scan to pdf format at all?

cheers

Marty

Post by: Bigplinky on December 19, 2007, 09:35 PM: Well kept secret BMX News. I'd never heard of it as I didn't start riding till 82 but I was scanning the bay for mid school mags last year and came across 2 full sets, got one set for £15 and the other for £5 (put the best ones together and sold the rest to another member). They are great stuff and have a lot of the Alans crew in. Unfortunately I have no way of scanning them in because of the size :-\

bit of a bargain buy there then
could you let me know which issues youhave some time please :daumenhoch:

with regards scanning i have to do it in two halves then use paintshop/photoshop to put it back together again
takes a bit of time, but def worth it as the paper ones i have are getting very fragile now

don't think so, though at work i can compile PDF's no probs

i thought i t would look great using that shockwave page turning effect
with some pukka newspaper noises added for good measure

any SWF creators out there ?
