[Coco] 1984 Magazine Archive Downloads

[Derek]

As for the size of the files it is how I got them sent to me, they are good quality PDF's and well worth the storage space. At this point I am just happy to have them to share no matter what the size. 

If you want to take on converting them to a different more compressed format that would be great, the more options the better. Let us know when you will be converting and hosting them or I can host them if you want to get them too me off list.

Thank you for the comments, all opinions are welcome

 Thanks it is good to see the mags available for download. It is about time. 
Really, I love the coco and all the people in the coco community who have 
helped me over the years. However, it seems to have turned in to a group 
that simply wants to show off how smart or better than others they are by 
bitching about copyrights and what is right or wrong.
 Its all bullshit and it needs to stop. People need to get over themselves 
and we need everything and anything that has to do with our coco uploaded or 
scanned for all coco users to enjoy. Again I'll point out that the Atari 
community, and yes the Atari stuff was ever more popular that the coco 
stuff, doesn't post 50 screens showing off their knowledge of copyright 
laws. They press upload and share and hack and redesign and all enjoys. They 
thrive and will for a very long time. Doesn't look like the coco community 
is going the same way.

Anyway about the mags: Seems like there needs to be an easier and smaller 
way to get them. 4 downloads of 100 megs each is a bit much, no?
