<I would be interested in CD's with back issues of magazines that have articles with information that is likely to have continued relevancy and therefore have a higher intellectual content. For example, New Yorker, Atlantic, Economist, National Review, Nation and New Republic, etc.> Thanks for your excellent suggestions. I agree with your choice of magazines (especially since they regularly review my work as a writer–see PC Magazine ad, 2/23 issue, First Looks). We're currently planning to publishing "current" issues in multimedia form with back issues in plain text/image form and, where appropriate, dynamically linked to the current issue. My favorite all-time disc, Magazine Rack, was cancelled by Ziff-Davis because is cannabalized their existing on-line service revenue. It had Economist, National Review, etc. and is still worthwhile (even though it only has 1990 data) if you don't have one. Thanks again for replying.
