Way cool Lon. I chose at random, August 1987...rolled to page 8! Matt Polk and the SDA SRS ad.....what are the odds....first try! Reading now.

He still gets sh.. for the lab coat even today. Sandy Gross stayed away from that!

Lon,

Wow. I can't thank you enough for this. Just seeing some of the old articles, ads, and reviews are just groovy man. Then there are the 'Rodriquez' cartoons, which are worth it in themselves.

Yes, it's going to be fun to peek at issues and see the audio past.

I looked at a 1968 issue. They sure put a lot of effort in writing articles. You just don't get that kind of depth anymore. I am thinking the people back them were a lot smarter than we are, now we just get rehashed and copied mini articles looking for the number of clicks. :(

Isn't it ironic how the glow that overcomes you as you read these wonderful time capsules is the same glow of pre-computers / pre-digital which is of course the same thing. I think every child should have to learn how to use a typewriter just as a historical experience?

Great score Lon!!! Thanks one again for your resourcefulness and efforts to this forum!

Steve

I'm beginning to see three phases in my lifetime: pre-computer, pre-internet computer, and internet.

I love the internet, but am beginning to hate how it has transformed our lives and societies.

These mags are great fun to look through.
