Thanks, guys. I hope we can get Marko's brilliant idea up and running.

talking 'bout Abandonia spirit

Sorry again 'cause you can't count me in till the 20th december.

It's about time for the adimns to make new section.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. If someone has some articles or want to type them, I guess we must check that. If they don't wanna, I will be glad. Do I need permission from our owner to do so? Maybe I shoul leave my mail adress so people can send articles, after which I need to contact magazines.

Don't mean to be arrogant, anyone can do that, so can I. Or maybe more of us should leave e-mail and be in charge of this new section?????????

yu-hu admins, your move baby

Havell Hmmm, I think I have a couple of articles that concern abandonware, I'll take a look to see if they're worth uploading.

wendymaree Wa-hoo!

Just got a reply from the editor of Australian Personal Computer about using articles from old editions of the magazine:

<<<Wendy, that's fine, but on the condition that you email me when it's done. I always check to see how the brand is represented.

best regards
Tony Sarno
Editor, APC>>>

I'll start typing up an article tonight

Fawfulhasfury Unlimited VIP access. Wendy is lucky. I'd contribute some mags myself, but I don't have any more than 1 year old. But I could scan the web and look for some articles and reviews, and rewrite them. Personally, I think it's an awesome idea. k:

wendymaree The two Australian magazines I've contacted to get permission were: Australian Personal Computer and PC Powerplay.

I tried to phone PC Powerplay - which has the most game related articles, but according to the directory operator there is no longer a company with this name registered. PC Powerplay has a web presence - a forum only - with an email address for those wanting to subscribe. I emailed this addie but still waiting for a response. This company could be defunct. The only magazines I have of theirs are now 7 - 8 years old.

Australian Personal Computer seems to be still active with a website and current email address. Just waiting to hear back from them. If I don't hear by tomorrow, I'll phone them. Both these companies are unfortunately located about a thousand miles from where I live in another State. I've got lots of other Aussie magazines, but these two have the oldest editions - 1996. Also have some British computer magazines from 1996, but they might be hard to track down by email.

If a company has gone out of biz, what is the situation then?

Yavor Hehe. We are witing your first scans.Good Luck.

Mucman Thanks Yavor... I just remembered my brother has a scanner! I'll see what kind of scans I can do when I get the chance. I guess I should also contact all the magazine publishers for permission too, eh? I have all PC Accelerator, and Incite magazines which are now out of print. I wonder if these are considered the abandonware of magazines?
