Thanks for that.

A few years ago, that would be 20 or so, a friend loaned me a CD with all the magazine text from inception until that time. Is there any chance for a final "all of ddj" DVD?



Good idea. I'll look into that!


I'd be interested in this too. Linux Journal puts out their annual DVDs; I tend to buy the latest and gift last year's onwards.


Oh, how I wish back-issue collections also included the advertisements that ran in them.

Just the same as old comic books were filled with brine shrimp and muscle building ads, I would look forward to seeing those old ads about compilers that were _only_ $199.99! and programs that "look the same on Windows, and on Macintosh!"

Seeing these things helps gives a context to the times in which they were printed, and allows for an appreciation for just how far we've come.


I would be extremely interested in this too. There's just so many fascinating articles.


Oh, yeah. I'd pay good money for that. It'd be fascinating from a historical perspective, as well as interesting and useful for the content itself.


Also put me down in the "shut up and take my money" category for this.


Good idea. And the project seems fit for a Kickstarter campaign.


I'd order one.


Me too.
