National Geographic's hard drive (a quick look)

[TexPhoto]

Wow, how were they able to scan them at such hi res back in 1888?

@TexPhoto lol they didn't scan them back in 1888. they just scanned it now with their hi res scanners. the magazine was printed in 1888 but they scanned it now. makes any sense?

thanks for the review it helps me a lot

Thanks for the demo. Is there a way to jump to a certain page in an issue, such as by dragging a bar? Or must the user flip through all the page spreads one by one to get to, for example, p. 132?

you can see they want to come to the mobile form

and not available o/s the states

Great idea, would be more awesome if they made things a bit more interactive.

its a great source for someone with no internet... but when you have the internet, what value does this collection add, except for the pride of owning one. I dont think any owner of this colllection would consume more than 10% of its content. Again, it would be a cool thing to have in a library or a place that where multiple people spend a few minutes.

I'd want access to the really old stuff that I grew up browsing in our ancient collection.

sounds great... but how efficient is it going to be for a user? no hot links, no search.. and who wants to read all the NG magazines in one go.. it would be worth on a MS Surface

[eeeteea]

It has a ton of search, actually. Standard text search, plus "GeoBrowse" which uses MS BING Maps to allow you to search by location, etc.

Looks awesome. Think I'm going to get it after the new year.

Thanks for the show and tell.
