Would anyone be interested if I scanned old ads and stuff from these mags
and posted them on a website?

~ At work I just discovered a stash of pc magazine, network 
~ computing, byte
~ and other rags that go back to 1993. Its like my life 
~ flashing before my
~ eyes.
~ 
~ Some things I noticed:
~ Ideas that I thought had no "wings" back then proved my point.
~ We are still talking about the same old shit.
~ Microsoft still has the same set of old problems they did in 
~ the beginning.
~ The "network computer" idea just wont die.
~ They were trying to "reinvent/alter/invigorate" the internet from the
~ beginning.
~ Some ideas that we think are new were floated back in the 
~ early 90's and
~ floundered until some big company was looking for something 
~ new to sell.
~ 
~ They are great fun to read. Kinda like reading old copies of 
~ 73 magazine or
~ the home electronics mags.
