I must be crazy to do this but.............. I am doing it.
 

Am I crazy to backup my aquarium magazine collection? 597 mags and growing.

no matter what they say about you on the other thread....have fun! and while you are doing it if you find any really interesting info, you could email it to me...you know when you have spare time that is!!! :biggrin:

wow 17 thousand posts! dang!

thats a lot of scans, wow. i mean wow! it would be a great resource when done. maybe if you split them up we could all scan some and when done we could build a local resource site so we could all download the mags?

put me down for 3 scans :mrgreen:

What you need is a scanner with an auto feeder...

when done burn it all to CD...not just to protect your time and effort but also offer copies to people (for a fee) to recoop some of the bucks you originally spent on those mags. (again not to mention the time) As Willow said it would be a great resource when done!

I would only back up the articles that you think are worth keeping, most mags only have 1 good article in them and the rest is ok. or repetitious.

I'll do them all........ because you just never know when you want to research something :biggrin:

I hope to be done by September ............ that is if I don't get distracted.

ummmm....wow! Get that cannon endorsement deal yet?

Go outside Vic....get some fresh air....really... :neutral: :razz:

Not yet but I'm hoping the scanner will last that long :biggrin:
