Have you seen that Jason Scott recently received and started digitizing 200 issues of Computer Shopper? The February 1986 issue is already uploaded as a pilot test, and it’s pure nostalgia fuel to flip through. You lose a little bit of the experience not having to wrangle a ridiculously large piece of low grade paper, but it’s still delightful.
He doesn’t currently have a complete set, if anyone has a cache they might be willing to contribute to the effort, check the bottom of the post for missing issues.
Awesome! I’ve been looking for copies of that online.
Great find! Thanks for sharing the link.
His podcast has a few recent episodes talking about the experience. Also occasional posts on mastodon as @textfiles@digipres.club.
