I'm curious though, is there a way to search out any particular type of article. For example, if I wanted to do research on clams, is there a way to bring up all of the clam articles?

Eventually I will have the index working that way.

What kind of media are you going to use to archive this stuff? You've spent a lot of time on this just to lose it to something like dye breakdown on a DVR+R.

I think the best response to this would be...

"HOLY CRAP"

I'm lucky I've got enough dedication to floss my teeth daily - to put this much effort into one project for over 2 years.

We need to make a freakin award!

That would be copywrite infringement. But holy wowzers that's a LOT of time!!! 2 years, and 1 scanner. Hahaha!!! Well I guess you know how many scans a scanner is good for. :D

Wow really? Im sure he has many more important things to do than scanning his magazines. Although an important project, buying more magazines (notice he went up by an additional 67% of his starting quantity since the beginning?), can also add a lot more work. And clearly the magazines moreso, nevermind the scans, are of value to him.

Terrific work Vic! Thanks for sharing! Ps. I dont think you are crazy! I only have around 40-50 mags myself, but I can get where your coming from!

Cheers,

Chris
