Softalk archive on CD or DVD

Would it be possible either during or after all issues are scanned that one could purchase the
"Softalk library" on CDs or DVDs from your organization for a small fee?? The fee could be used
to "fund" further projects down the road... What do you think??

SL

Yes... but it will mostly be unnecessary

Hi SL,

Our current plan is to do a Kickstarter project to fund the bulk scan and on-line archive where all 48 issues of Softalk will be free for on-line, page-by-page access as well as by downloadable full-issue PDFs in both small-file size for eReading and larger-file high-resolution format for printing.

A very readable PDF of a typical issue should be easily downloadable with even a modest Internet connection. That said, I imagine we will offer a DVD at some point once we have the critical mass of everything done and are able to create such a full-publication disk. In the meantime, we will be publishing each issue on-line as it is done once the Kickstarter project is going.

Keep an eye out here and on the Softalk Forever!!! Facebook group page for updates.
