Post by: moley on January 29, 2008, 11:51 PM: Just got back into BMX after 20+ years. Thought I'd have a trip down memory lane. Reliving my teen years and all that!!

I used to collect most of the UK mags but binned them when I was tempted by the Darkside, that is "Women and Booze".

Saw some magazines for sale which were cheap so I bought them.

Once I collected a few, Some deckard chap started to try and outbid me, so it turned into the battle of the wallets. He won a few, I won a few.

I should never have started to collect, but I can't stop myself. I think I need a self-help group or EA (Ebay Anonymous).

Hopefully I can finish my collection before I run out of money.

I had a look at 23mag website and found a severe lack of UK magazines.

So I thought I'd try and rectify that by scanning my own.

I will eventually scan all my collection and give it to the masses.

I will keep the Magazines though. There is nothing nicer than the texture and feel of a magazine over a CRT or TFT.

I will try and scan a few magazines/books a week if I have time or if I can be arsed.

Just Started to upload the latest batch of magazines but I keep getting an I/O error.

So hopefully they will be ready to download within a few hours, otherwise I'll have to retry uploading them tomorrow night.

I still need some magazines to add to my collection. If anyone wants to donate any to me, then I'll make sure they get scanned and distributed to the people.

Enjoy the downloads!!!
