Default 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.

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

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

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