That sounds like quite a collection....I think it might be a little too much for my flatbed scanner but thank you. My point remains that Rock has so much cool history in their archives but they don't seem to do much with it. A select back copy news page from the 80's or 90's each month might generate a bit more etraffic for their site and help drive subscriptions.
