News Letters !

Hi all

I am currently sorting out the loft preparing for our house move and I came across 3 A4 folders containing all "Stratos Replica Club" Newsletters from Issue 1 onwards.

Question is would anyone care to have them as part of their own archive or club archive..........or shall I take them for recycling ?? I would be a shame to go to recycling as there can't be that many complete copies out there.

If anyone is interested please let me know, I could deliver to the Lancia gathering at Royal Leamington Spa in a few weeks time.

Cheers

Phil

Can't they all be downloaded/viewed on this site Phil?

Phil, I'll have them.

As Guy said (twice), they're all on here. I just like bits of paper...

When each issue number is opened, you see a blank page, but at the bottom is a link to the download and a link to the next edition

Do you not get this Steve?:

Thanks Steve I seen this but when I click where you have hi-lighted nothing happens . I will try the lap top to see if that is any different.

Dies the fact that in the bottom lefthand corner it says closed thread have any bearing on me being not fit to open it.

I think closed thread just means no posts can be added to that thread

I've no experience of phone browsers, if that's the problem?

No, I think that's the same. 'Just a bigger window size you're viewing.

In the spirit of piling on ;)

I did that back when I was mag editor for a bit. Also supplied a CD with them all on, generated text files from OCR scans and a bit of software that searched the archives for key words and spat out which issue it was found in, and where. Subsequent editors carried on the tradition of making a PDF available but I don't think the search tool data files ever got updated?

I've still got those too Chris.
I've just come very close to buying a Haynes online manual, mistakingly thinking it was a book. I've read comments from people who are annoyed that Haynes manuals are not hard back anymore. Anyhow, enough railing against the digital world, on an internet forum :o

The issue is that 'they' take away the choice - digital or nowt. It's so much cheaper to move to a digital platform, but oddly, the savings never seem to get passed on.

I can still remember when our manager at the time ran into our workshop all excited because he had just connected his computer to the only "website" in the world at the time, CERN. In a typically spectacular lack of vision on my part, I thought 'nah, what's the point in that'.

'Tell me about it. I had all that with the imposed smart phone tickets at Silverstone last year. Then at the last minute (after I'd bought a smartphone I didn't want) they let me print a scan-able one on paper. I doubt that's an option this year? Not even a secret one.

Yes, websites, they'll never catch on...
