If your interested in old magazines, I had saved literally dozens of 80's computer magazines, Compute, Computes Gazette, and some others. I just cleaned up the house, but may have some left. I didn't think anyone was interested in this stuff, and threw a bunch away. I would be happy to donate them if I have some left. Let me know offline, as this sounds like an interesting project.

Let's take a look at what you have and where we might be able to take this.
