I have been thinking about getting the DVD, but I havent firmly made up my mind.
Like Galen I am still a paper reader as I find it less strain on the eyes, and quieter as I dont have the 'puter noise in the background.
However, Randy does raise some very valid points concerning storage and moving issues, cost per issue and having it all catalogued. This is what computers designed are for; to store and quickly retrieve information as and when required.
Considering 75 years by 12 issues makes for 900 issues, not counting any bonus inclusions which makes for a heck of a lot of paper to store and protect from damp, mildew, flood, fire, fading, insects, pets, children and missguided friends and relatives.
I guess to have the best of both worlds, one could print out an important article as and when needed, knowing it is still safely stored on the DVD.
I think that I just convinced myself of the value of getting the DVD.
Just as long as no one scratches the DVD.
