We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Probably in a nicer format, better quality and better compatibility. Would not be surprised if the box set required its own software to be installed to read the magazine
Yeah it had an installer and program to read everything, it wasn't just a simple collection of scanned pages. I got it at a computer show back when I was like 10 or 12, and when "computer shows" were actually a thing in the late 90s hahaha
