Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re:Todays AOBA Update - Alpacas Magazine Update
Well, a word about online magazines:
I received a subscription for Scientific American digital edition for my birthday, after having let my subscription lapse for a few years. I can download all issues to my computer, all the way back to 1993! I have many years in print, and yes, I save them all. But the ones I don't have, I'm downloading. Granted, we are lucky to have dsl. Not all rural properties have high speed or moderate speed internet service, but my issues of SciAm are around only 2 MB each. Not too bad! So if SciAm can make their copies only 2mb, surely AM can do it, and so it wouldn't be too problematic for all members to download and access at their leisure on their comptuter, or to print if they prefer printed media.

Brad and all:I know that a lot of people prefer on-line publications, but I'm not one of them. I like print media. I can carry it with me to places like Dr's. offices and other 'wait' type situations. I can carry it to my loft, in front of the TV, outside, to bed, on a plane, when I do overnight visits out of town, etc.....I like printed on paper media, Alpacas Magazine being a favorite. I don't like reading lots of text from a computer screen. It's hard on my eyes and I have difficulty focusing. I may be in the minority, but I think we need to recognize that there is still a place for printed media in our world and that some folks (me) will always prefer it over a computer screen. If the Mag goes on line, I just hope there remains an option for the print version. It's also fairly easy to give printed media away if you care to do that...if nothing else, it promotes good will with the recipient, though admittedly, I don't give my Alpacas Magazines away, but it could be an option one of these days when I run out of space.......SusanSusan Forman

climate however. Don't tell the poor to spend more just balance your
books. Why do they even print this mag for the members? An online
version password protected with each member getting a password would be
fine! If you don't have the money you don't have the money. I would much
rather have it all online. It's the only mag I even get any longer in
the mail. Check out the link to the format of this mag.
