Magazines being given away
Tom Limoncelli
pay shipping. Buy a large fraction of them and I'll throw in something
else (make suggestions). I'm flexible on how it is paid for and I will
accept hardware/software trades (no pirated software!).
They are all in pretty good condition and they are quite old. Cataloging
them to make this post brought back a lot of good (and bad) memories about
the microcomputer industry in it's beginning. Lots of historical value in
these. Sort of breaks my heart to let them go.
There are computer and non-computer magazines.

That said, that collection would probably be worth quite something these
days. (apart from the fun of reading them)
I wonder, how do you get to find such old posts from 1990? Most of the
providers I know just keep stuff for a couple of years and claim
"they're not an archive". What are you using?
