Yeh, get 'em on to mp3's.  Exactly what I'd like to do--if I can find the 
records again.  Do you think they might be archived in some library 
somewhere?  There's another mag that's also pretty good; done at the Smith 
Kettlewell.  It's an archive of quarterly mags from 1980 through 1998 (I 
think).  It's all text, so the best one could do with audio is to get a 
person or synthesizer to read 'em.  I have started the process of collecting 
them but have a ways to go yet.
