Hi,

I am trying to find copies of MSJ, as early as possible. Range up to 1995.
There are copies of "Microsoft Developer Network" CD's (September 1992) on the Internet Archive, but the MSJ's are in text. And a couple of pdf scans here and there. But not complete.
I see on ebay at the moment there are Spanish copies, but nothing in English.
On a side note, It is strangely satisfying to read technical details about this old tech.

Cheers,
Craig

When you say "...in text...", are you meaning the archived web pages?

Sorry I should have mentioned the "Wayback machine".
The late 80's journals are missing, there is just the code.
There are some text versions of the journals in the "Microsoft Developer Network" CD's on the Internet Archive. It would be nice to have the PDF version, text of the articles is ok.

The actual journals would be better.

It seems so strange that they are hard to find now.

Sometimes you can get into $$$ magazine archival services free through your local library.
