I'm interested in any A&B from 1982-1984, any acorn user from 1982-1983,
and 2 acorn user issues from 1984 (jan & aug).
But I cannot take the whole lot or will go bankrupt on shipping costs
;-)

So, if you're willing to split, let me/the list know please. I will not
put it on ebay, and I'm planning to scan all magazines in high detail
(will start when the MU's from 1983/1984 I swapped arrive). The Micro
users alone will probably need at least one CD to store.... (and take
quite a while).

Regards,

Wouter
