Comments are desired on:

1. I would like the magazine pages _________ to be OCRed so I can run the
program. (Additional corrections needed, OCR is just an attempt to reduce
the effort and will have many errors).

2. I cannot, or I am having  trouble reading a magazine.

     A. Please list the Display type, size and number of colors that you are
having trouble reading with.

(LCD 1024 x 768 32 bit color., 256 colors actually. Clear Type Used?)
(19" CRT 1600 x 1200 32 Bit Color)

     B. The larger file size that you would accept for the magazine.

     C. The file size that you would not download the magazine.

There is a lot of CoCo stuff in these magazines, CoCo 1 and 2 were very
popular with Hams then.

"The Beginners Guide to TRS80C" has a lot of information that covers some
questions that have been discussed just recently on this list.

That magazine is a fourth or higher generation copy with poor readability.
Will be very large file sizes to not lose any more information.

Project Status: Clay Abrams articles in "73" on SSTV for the CoCo 2 have
been scanned. File size reduction not yet done.

Awaiting preliminary reports on these magazines already been scanned and
available on the web.
