[Phono-L] MAPS going strong - (Going paperless)

[Ron L]

And that is why I included "as an option" in my message, Steve.   I felt the
same way about wanting to hold, read the physical item when the Mississippi
Rag went digital-only.  It made it much harder for me to read. Often I would
be two or more issues behind.   However it did allow color photos and more
of them.  And, I could enlarge the print to make it easier to read if I
wanted to.   Electronic storage is much more compact than the physical
publication as well.

Offering  a web based one as an alternative would be a good idea.  It would

But not everyone wants to read on line. Actually a few publications have  
gone digital. But if we accept that then lets just get rid of our records
and 
 only listen to them on PCs and Ipods. <g>. And, shoot, lets just  
digitalize all our catalogs and toss them. Isn't there any joy in opening
your  
mailbox and seeing an issue of In The Groove or The Sound Box that you can
leaf  
through and hold and file where you will find it, instead of plunking down 
at  the PC and reading it off a screen by scrolling through it? I know, I'd 
miss it.  I'm already spending too much time on my PC!
 
Just my opinion
