i just got my eBay lot of 3 issues, reading issue 103. Do all of the issues transport you back 30 years?
This one is all about Nov.1981 so far.

okay, I FINALLY got to Barnes and Nobles and got THIS issue last night:

TrekMD

Cool!  They are very hard to find in Miami.  The B&N closest to me don't carry the magazine. The third one, which is a fair distance, does get them but whenever I've been there to find an issue they look like they've been put through a shredder before they are put on the shelves.  Really bad.  So, I just get the digital issues and try to get physical issues when they have something I really, really like.  :)

I am more than willing to post these to some of you guys but at your cost obviously.. 

Might be best if i got say 5 copies each time and post them to Trek who then sends them on via your internal postal service.. much like a drop shipper....

I have done this for Trek before, works out pretty expensive.

Its just as easy and probably cheaper to order them directly from Imagine Publishing, you can also get US subscriptions at a greatly reduced cost.

I bet it is as well fella.. Shame its so hit and miss over there.

I think it just depends on where you are here in the States.  It was easy to find the magazine when I was in New Jersey.  It's ok, I am fine reading the digital versions and just getting the print issue for something that I consider more special.

I just figured out what POST means (to mail) I keep forgetting my non-american english.

Okay, I read the entire and AWESOME Atari 8-Bit article. I always wanted to know more about those.
Also, I like the comparison spread of 2 pages of the different ports of the Paperboy arcade game to the home consoles, portables, and computers.  I forgot how ugly some Apple IIe games were, and I was amazed how super ugly the NES version was.
What articles do y'all like the most of this issue?

Glad you liked my Atari 8-bit article!  :4:
