No, he only need 4 more back in Feb. Now he has 18 that have yet to be scanned. He's also either found some more mags or is still purchasing them as the total has increased.

What I want to know is whether the universe will implode once he's finally finished with this monumental task.

He's just a big tease! He will never finish...

No I will never finish because I still get new magazines every month

Cheers,
Aquaman

Do you think it's crazy to scan 600+ mags? I won't be scanning every page but all pages with articles on them so for example a 70 page mag will have 45-50 pages that have articles or pictures on them.

I guess I will find out how tough my Canon Scanner is

To update:

633/637 (99.37%) Done

4 mags to go

52000+ scans

21gb of scans

314 lbs (144kg)weight

No Torrents

wait... you are scanning magazines that do not have naked females in them???

The fishes are naked....

Got any hot fishes in there

hehe

Since you obviously went through a lot of work to scan these. You gunna sell the magazines on fleabay?

Nope....... I gave them away to a young hobbyist.

Why?

They already have the originals........ it's not that hard to make good quality scans.

So what happens if something unspeakable befalls you? Is there a mentee in training ready to answer the call?

I'm sure he can rig up one of those Roombas from Woot to continue his scanning in an automated fashion in the event of an untimely demise

While I am still in the hobby......... I will still use these magazines because they are a valuable resource.

ps. It's "manatee"

Manatee? That's just silly. You can't fit a manatee in an aquarium... perhaps these aquarium magazines are not scan-worthy after all!

*mentor/mentee*

Or maybe I should have asked, "Is there an Aquaboy/Aqualad in training ready to answer the call?"

Just how much physical space does 633 magazines take up? I think we're beyond the usual method of measurement, alternators, and may be up to full size cars :Q

Well lets ASSume that dimensions of a typical magazine are 8.3 × 11.7 and 1/4 inches thick...
1/4 * 633 = approx 158 inches

158.25 * 8.3 * 11.7 = 15368 cubic inches, which is approximately 8.9 cubic feet...


I am sure my result is too large, it should be less than that.

OP - tell us dimensions of a magazine!

This reminds me of debate, expect a bit worse. I've had to scan in entire books to cut evidence. NOT Fun. I had to OCR everything too. Took me like a month to get it done.
