I'm thinking of scanning all my magazines onto a CD, but am wondering if
this is already done and if a compilation of all the magazines is available
on CD ROM?
Please let me know by email on colc...@blueyonder.co.uk
Many thanks and happy computing....

depends on the magazine I suppose, a lot of french mags are already scanned.

Kamelito a �crit :

Andre M. also scanned a few OUM issues a few years ago, but I'm not sure
they can be distributed at will.
Also, another very interesting link with scanned magazines from the
Microtan era (some may have Oric-related content):
http://www.microtan.ukpc.net/

What would be a huge work but also very interesting, would be to collect
every article relatied to Oric, in any magazine!

it is extremely unlikely that you guys will reply..

but I have come into ownership of Oric Computing Magazine Issue 1.
there is a cartoon creature drawn on the front.
I have also got 3 Oric games with the same artwork on.

This artwork I also have the original artwork of it, are these worth anything?

Frightening skull thing with curly horns spurting blood?

If you don't get much response here, try at :-

forum.defence-force.org

But when you say the "original artwork", how did you come by it?

Some would list it for one thousand times what they paid for it
and wait for someone to bite. :-)

Endless variations make it all seem new
Can you recognise the patterns that you find ?

Stratix site is down since 2 years.

I've also scanned all rhetoric (except issue 20)
and Oum issues 89 up to 100.
Like Simon, i'm not sure they could be distributed.

Great !

So if people have scanned some issues of oum, it could be interesting to exchange them no ?
