Digital TGO

Well, after a little bit of bother and a couple of 'phone calls, I've just received the May issue of TGO. Had I continued with my paper subscription, I'd have had it a couple of weeks ago. Still, I should have the June issue in a couple of weeks so that's the upside I suppose. Well, how is digital? I'm impressed actually and although not everyone will necessarily get on with reading on screen I don't have a problem with it and it means that future issues shouldn't go walkabout around the house. My reason for going digital is because I don't like throwing this type of magazine away and I have Trail going back to 1990 and TGO for the past couple of years. It's all getting a bit too much and there is the occasional rumble of complaint from SWMBO. Among the magazines I scanned bits of and then disposed of a while ago were some issues of The Great Outdoors (TGO's old name). It was a very different magazine then. Roger Smith would remember it well (he mentions "the old days" in the current TGO). The articles were very different and so were the people who wrote them; seemingly a very different generation. I recall one in particular where the thumbnail photo of the writer showed a middle aged chap in a woollen cardigan, shirt and tie. Of course, that may have been Roger Smith (if so, I apologise) but times have certainly changed and for the better.
