Wouter,

I've taken a look at the PCW listings, and I've cropped them down, and my
girlfriend is going to print them off on A3 tomorrow - they're just a little
too small to read on-screen.

I'd be happy to send some of the listings (I presume as an SSD file?) when
I've finished - is there anything in particular you'd like?

Best Regards

Matt

Purely for the experience of typing in and getting it working? If not, 
most micro user and A&B listings can be downloaded from 8bs.com. AU as 
well, but less complete IIRC (last I checked, year ago or so).

See:

And check out the magazines section, esp. PCW.

The listings are sometimes too tiny I suppose, tradeoff between filesize 
+ screensize against download time. Now that I have a 21" monitor I 
don't care about size limits any more, and since having ADSL the same 
goes for filesizes... Server space/load is probably the only real limit 
now. I could put up bigger images in the future of some scans, say the 
PCW ones, if that's of interest.

If you do type in PCW stuff, I'd be interested in the files...
