    Have the magazine?

    Given it's been 33+ years, the chances are probably slim :-)

    That said, that collection would probably be worth quite something these
    days. (apart from the fun of reading them)

    I wonder, how do you get to find such old posts from 1990? Most of the providers I know just keep stuff for a couple of years and claim
    "they're not an archive". What are you using?
