<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.
