Sounds like you must of had quite a collection.Every now and then I miss an issue or two but magazines and newspapers sure can add up quick.I like the scanning idea but I don't even know how to operate it.We got the scanner for my oldest daughter and shes our computor 'expert'.She saves all our computor memory for pictures of boy bands and the Sims computor game.She deletes every thing to feed that game.Hope someday she will show me how to operate the scanner so I can put a picture of my Machine on BikeForums.Man, someday I'm gonna learn all this stuff
