Have you seen that Jason Scott recently received and started digitizing 200 issues of Computer Shopper? The February 1986 issue is already uploaded as a pilot test, and it's pure nostalgia fuel to flip through. You lose a little bit of the experience not having to wrangle a ridiculously large piece of low grade paper, but it's still delightful.
He doesn't currently have a complete set, if anyone has a cache they might be willing to contribute to the effort, check the bottom of the post for missing issues.
His podcast has a few recent episodes talking about the experience. Also occasional posts on mastodon as @textfiles@digipres.club.
Awesome! I've been looking for copies of that online.
Great find! Thanks for sharing the link.
