I for one did not know this. That's awesome...thanks for the info.

I love browsing through old computer magazines because this is essentially how I got very interested in computers in the first place.

For sure! I agree on the adverts - love seeing the old hardware and the crazy advertising. Too bad they don't have the older BOOT mags - would love to see some of those scanned up and put on there.

A while back I wanted offline copies, and found some app which wget'd Google Book pages. Did the lot of them (err I guess that was illegal?) and stitched them back together with a PDF maker, then combined them in a folder with the ones you could get from their site. ... then the HDD those were on died without backups 🙁

Back when I did that, there were a few whose scans had been messed up by Google (crumpled pages, missing covers) but I think they have been replaced by now...

Haha. Did the same thing - crawled the site and pulled the files. Did the same for the old issues of CGW. Probably frowned upon but oh well....

I didn't know about this--nice!

Yep, lots of cool stuff - Rendition Verite, NEC PowerVR, 3DFX.. all the classics!

I own a small collection of the original Boot Magazines in hard copy, along with the included CDs. Also have a hand full of the Voodoo 3DFX (quarterly) magazines.

Cool stuff and a great way to travel back in time.

I discovered that Google Books also has many old issues of PC Magazine. It isn't included in the list of magazines as Maximum PC is, but you can use the advanced search function to find it. You'll just need to search for a specific term and include "pc magazine" in the title box. I was reading an old issue from 1994 when the Pentium 90 was state of the art!

I noticed that as well...I'm so glad pc magazine is on there as well.

I searched for computer shopper as well but there were no issues available to view...bit beggars can't be choosers.

Being able to view the PC Magazine issues I used to have back in the day is amazing...very nostalgic for me since I had many of these exact issues and then threw them away with my computer shopper mags one day when I ran out of space in my parents garage...I wish I didn't throw them out now but being able to view them like this is better than nothing.

Has anyone been able to find scans of the November and December 1999 issues yet?

...Does anybody have a scan of Maximum PC December 1999 ?
This issue is nowhere to be found! (even in real format!)
There is a cool Alienware review inside.
Thk a lot ^^
