I would be interested in scanning in some Acorn User articles. If anyone is
willing to host these on their site. Still not sure of the copyright
position, but if anyone is willing to host magazine scans, please post on
the digest or reply to me.
 
Steve.

It would be wonderful if someone could put these up on the 'net.  For those
of us BBC enthusiasts outside the UK it is otherwise impossible to ever
access this material.  Thank you Rob for your proposal!  I hope someone
local can act on the opportunity.

       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).
