Ira (of www.trs-80.com) fame has been scanning a good share of magazines and
books. There is some talk about doing The Rainbow, but the discussion is how
to go about it because one of the options is to rip apart each magazine and
feed the pages through an automated sheet feeder and scan them, the problem
is the thickness of the pages in some of the magazine's editions AND the
thought of having each magazine to be scanned run through a process of
literally destroying them... takes some guts to do from many magazine
collectors... including me :-)

The other way and less destructive is to do pages one by one, but there are
some months of The Rainbow that have just so many pages that it would be a
slow process.

Volunteers have sprung up for either of the two options noted, and perhaps
someone else will come up with a new idea, like, I know that Hot CoCo was at
one time being put in microfilm, I have not been able to locate ANY such
microfilm repository but there must be something like that floating around.

We will have The Rainbow in electronic form soon... fingers are crossed!
