thats why FASA needs to put their out of print books in a CD format like
TSR/WOC did with their magazines. I now have on CD Dragon Magazines 1-250 on
cd, youw ant to talk about storage and no worries about paper getting old or
torn. This was the bes tidea yet. They also did the same thing with their
AD&D books as well. Even tyhough I actually own the real thing, I have so
many storage boxes its pathetic. Try moving around from apartment to
aprtment hauling a ton of storage plastic bins that weight over 50 lbs each.
No thank you anymore. I would prefer my media on cd.

If FASA would put their old stuff on CD including all of their out of print
books I think FASA would make a nice tidy profit.
