Back issues of FSM on DVD
Posted by Arronax on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 10:13 AM

I'm really happy to have FSM's DVD collection of back issues for the 25 years since the magazine started (1982-2007).  A) It's searchable and B) it takes up next to nothing in shelf space.

Can this be done on a regular basis - say every 5 years?  Love the printed magazines but they take up too much space and can be recycled.

Anyone else like this idea?

I like the idea of an updated version.

Ought to be easy enough considering the magazine is created on a computer.

I agree with the idea of updates, but not a reissue of the entire series every time.  Why not just issue the content published since the last update, instead?  Also, I could see having the choice between getting a disc or getting a download.

The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.

I phrased it wrong.  Yes, new DVD-ROMs with 5 years worth of FSM.  Leave the first 25 year disk alone.   Downloads might be a problem.  There's a lot of data there.

Is it possible to read the articles on the DVD on the iPad? Then, I'd buy the DVD in a heart beat.
