Preparing for the Incoming Computer Shopper Tsunami -- June 5, 2023

There's no way for me to know where your awareness starts with all
this, so let's just start at the beginning.

Computer Shopper was a hell of a magazine. I wrote a whole essay
about it, which can be summarized as "this magazine got to be very
large, very extensive, and probably served as the unofficial 'bible'
of the state of hardware and software to the general public
throughout the 1980s and 1990s." While it was just a pleasant little
computer tabloid when it started in 1979, it quickly grew to a page
count that most reasonable people would define as "intimidating".

[3344549422_d8139b83bc_k-1024x683]

In a world that saw hundreds of magazines and thousands of
newsletters come and go about technology and computer-related
subjects, Computer Shopper was its own thing entirely. Not only thick
as a brick, but clearly opened to anyone who waved cash and covering
vendors who were selling computer components down to the individual
part level. You might have a good set of ads in PC Magazine but to
browse over price lists of capacitors, power supplies and wiring, the
massive monthly Computer Shopper issue was going to be your go-to.

There were two other aspects to Computer Shopper that has given it a
halo of intrigue and positive memory: First, the paper was incredibly
cheap, newspaper tabloid level by some eyes. This seeming
disposability infers a weird sort of honesty about the advertising
contents - it is what it is, it represents what the actual pricing
is, and what's actually available. The lack of pure slickness in the
printing process was a baggage of "look, I'm lucky if we survive
another month and this is the straight up price we're offering"
across the many hundreds of ads in a given issue.

[3343713557_8c06e34719_k-1024x683]

But second, was the full-bore willingness to seemingly absorb
anything computer adjacent into its pages. Pre-fab computers and
commercially available software was listed inside, sure. But if you
were selling tech clothing, clips, floppies, tapes, plugs, paper,
switches and accessories... you had a home there as well. It gave a
truly manic and freewheeling melee to the affair, and for those of us
who wanted to know more than the standard 20-30 software packages
everyone was buying, or to think about smacking together a bunch of
parts to get a mutant-powerful system up and running, this was the
place.

To a smaller set of us, the BBS Listings in the back were also a very
notable aspect. BBS operators across all the spectrum of cliques and
locations thought of Computer Shopper as the BBS yellow pages, the
phone book of the online, for almost its entire run. You flipped to
the back, found your area code or state, and downright eye-watering
levels of BBS listings were waiting for you. Inaccurate? Sometimes.
But a truly unique assemblage of what was.

[3343711433_2dff897c89_k-1024x683]

That catches us all up to what Computer Shopper was. Like many
print-based computer magazines, Computer Shopper grew in size into
the many of hundreds of pages, some greater than 800. It thrived in
the world before the World Wide Web took hold, and once you could do
daily updates of parts and prices at various websites, the months-lag
in printing schedule and the lack of responsiveness compared to
websites made it lose curry, favor, and eventually pages. It died a
quiet death in 2009, becoming a barely interesting site and then an
uninteresting zombie.

Still, it was a heck of a run.

People often ask me the same basic questions regarding old computer
history and access to it. One of them is to discuss potential holy
grails, possibilities of where some effort might be afforded to
acquire potentially lost information or artifacts before they're
gone.

A common go-to for me was Computer Shopper, because it's a perfect
storm of absolute fascination and completely intolerable amounts of
barriers towards digitizing it into something readable online.

  * It's fantastically huge. If you scan in an issue, however you do
    it, you're talking hundreds of pages for that month, all of them
    requiring babysitting to ensure they got through.
  * The cheap, cheap paper is a nightmare to run through a scanner -
    either a flatbed-based misery or a sheet-fed scanner that's one
    molecule of damage away from crunching pages up.
  * The gutters (space between the spine and the information on the
    page) is offensively small - millimeters where there should be a
    half-inch. Especially towards the 1990s era, the instructions to
    advertisers about layout clearly didn't make many bones about
    informing folks about margins. This means the books have to be
    split apart, a despicable sin that strikes against the heart of
    the pure.
  * These myriad, no-gutter, cheaply-printed pages are both tabloid
    size and never considered text too small to allow. This means
    that not only is the page size not going to fit in 95% of the
    consumer scanners out there, but they're going to need to be
    scanned at the highest level you can, to not miss anything. The
    page size, digitized, is going to be offensively huge.

So, the prospect this would ever happen was basically zero. You
needed someone who had the time, inclination, and support to do what
was going to be one of the more painful scanning projects extant.

It turned out to be me.

[s-l1600-6-1024x768]

So, there I was whining online about how it was 2023 and nobody
seemed to be scanning in Computer Shopper and we were going to be
running into greater and greater difficulty to acquire and process
them meaningfully, and I finally, stupidly said that if we happened
on a somewhat-complete collection, I'd figure out how to do it.

And then an ebay auction came up that seemed to fit the bill.

[20230404_114538-1024x478]

Out in Ohio, someone decided to sell nearly 200 issues of Computer
Shopper for a few thousand bucks.

It's important to understand the usual per-issue prices for Computer
Shopper, and that usual per-issue price can get as high as $50 an
issue. Obviously, at some large scale, this becomes an untenably
large price. But in this case, they were being sold for about $13 an
issue, which is not zero, but somewhere in the realm of manageable:
About $3,000 for the lot.

Now, I'm not going to have $3,000 to throw around like that. So I put
the challenge out there: If people get together and give me $3,000,
I'll buy this lot and scan it it.

It hit goal in about 3 hours.

[ebay-1024x511]

As you might have figured out, delivery/mail was not an option. To
make that happen, I reached out for a volunteer, and a few people
came forward, including Wes Kennedy, who made this his main project
for a few days. He'd left one job and was starting another a week
later, and "picking up all the issues, packaging them carefully, and
putting them in the mail to Jason" became his fun-cation. He deserves
all the kudos for this.

When 14 large boxes arrived, they included all the issues, put inside
large paper envelopes and wrapped in blue plastic that definitely 
didn't look like cocaine to the storage unit guys I cruised past.

So all of the issues were now safely within my control.

One might be inclined to say "Well, that's only half the problem."
and you'd be off, because it's actually less than a quarter of the
problem. Acquisition, after all, was just money - buying issues in
bulk and ending up with a good amount of them was just a case of
assembling some cash.

No, it was definitely the scanning that was going to be the big ....
issue.

[20230405_111156-1024x478]

If not obvious, the pages of this tabloid-sized periodical are not
just big, they're over the bounds of pretty much every scanner out
there, at least in the consumer space. (There's plenty of
large-format scanners past the $5,000 range, and they're also
gargantuan affairs, meant to handle blueprints and posters.)

But I did find one commercial scanner that could do the work: A
Fujitsu fi-7480 wide-size sheet-feed scanner, which tops out at about
$3,500. I'll simply say a kind anonymous donor bought it outright so
I wouldn't have to crowdfund for it, and for that I'm eternally
grateful.

Here's what dealing with that process looks like, with the scanner
software (Vuescan) set carefully to neutral and pulling in the
massive pages through the fi-7480:

[20230405_184249-1024x478]

...which brings up the situation involving the pages.

Now, about 12 years ago, I really raked someone over the coals for
destroying copies of BYTE magazine to scan them. He was not happy
about this at all, and there's a chance he may have stopped his
project just not wanting to deal with such criticism. I hope not, but
I do stand by the fact that he indicated he was immediately disposing
of the pages after scanning them, which meant any mistakes or
oversights were permanent. (At one point, he mentioned having to fish
a page out of the trash when he discovered he'd skipped it.)

At that point, I made a declaration of my standards for debinding/
pulling apart a magazine to scan it:

"IF I have a document or paper set that requires some level of
destruction to scan properly AND IF I have three copies of it AND IF
there is no currently-available digital version of the document AND
IF there is a call or clamor for this document set THEN AND ONLY THEN
I will split the binding and scan at a very high resolution and
additionally apply OCR and other modern-day miracles to the resulting
document so that the resulting item is, if not greater than the
original, more useful to the world."

...I should have added an OR.

"...OR if there's very little chance of anyone ever being able to
assemble issues to scan in the foreseeable future."

Because that's rapidly what was happening with the Computer Shoppers.

$13 an issue is perhaps quite a bit, but people want even more for
individual issues and it will be a bit of a stretch to actually
acquire them all. So, even though I don't own 3 copies personally, I
also know the other two potential copies are passing among collectors
at this point, so they're being held, in some way, in trust. It's my
hope that I'll eventually have a chance to do this work for all the
issues, but until then, I work with what I got.

[signal-2023-06-03-014223_002-1024x478]
[signal-2023-06-03-014221_002-1024x478]

Debinding, the taking apart of a bound issue of a magazine to turn it
into a stack of papers to scan in, turns out to be a process. A
painful, time consuming, involved process. One which I knew would be
involved but not as involved as it has definitely turned out to be.

Luckily, people have come before me. There is a rather beautiful
documentation out there, about the best practices in debinding
magazines, from Retromags. They walk through the pros and cons, the
potential issues, the considerations while doing it, and the most
common pitfalls that will befell your project if you don't stay on
top of them. I read this like the Book of Life before setting off on
dealing with Computer Shoppers, because their "how to ski" primer was
going to be critical as I skied backwards down a double-black-diamond
slope of these bible-sized monsters.

In this case, I have to use a heat gun, aiming them at the glued
issues of Computer Shopper, warming them up until the glue starts to
become slightly liquid and then carefully pulling the pages apart
from each other, placing them on a large table I'm working on. If the
glue comes too close to the pages after I pull them apart, it
actually sticks them back again. It's a huge mess, and with hundreds
of pages in a typical issue, hours of work.

There are banger groups out there working tirelessly to debind
magazines, scan them in carefully, fix any issues with the looks, and
upload them to various locations. One of them is Gaming Alexandria
and it's been a pleasure to fall in with them and discuss the
nitty-gritty of this process. They're scanning in obscure periodicals
at scale and they know what they're up to.

In fact, we've made a deal, where I'm just focusing on the "Raw
Scans", and these raws will go to them for post-processing, creating
a more readable or functional set of final readable versions of
Computer Shopper for people to appreciate. The Raws will always be
available, of course - 600dpi TIFF files scanned neutrally of the
original pages, placed together in mothra-sized .ZIP files that
number up into the many gigabytes, for people to pull down when
needed.

A scanned page of a typical issue looks like this (with a little size
reduction for this essay):

[ecc7b373b76594c8]

You can see immediately the difficulties and intricacies of this
project.

Like I indicated, there was very little care for margins, and none
for minimum size of text. Computer Shopper advertisers did whatever
they wanted, however they wanted, and into newsprint, which further
made things whacky because bleed is a major issue, pulling the other
side's ink into the current one. And all of this on a massive piece
of paper - so in total, the original TIFF file of this image is a
full-on 20 megabytes - and this issue has over 400 pages.

And before I forget to mention... I did a test scan with an issue that
I had two copies of, to work out any major bugs and problems. And one
major problem was that there was a roller at the top of the feed
scanner meant to separate a stack of pages into single ones and feed
them in properly. Well, that roller grips the page so tightly, it
started to pick up ink and put it on later pages, leaving streaks on
the page. A quick browse through the service manual, and I had to
remove that roller entirely. This means that I have to feed the pages
in, one by one, since otherwise it'll stick them together and jam.

Through all of this, we're talking hours of work to do a single
issue, and I have to do it a couple hundred times at least. This is
going to be quite an epic task... which is, again, why we're down to me
doing it because the combination of cost, time and effort leaves
almost nobody else who'd be in a position to be able to do, much less
want to.

[choices-1024x626]

We did one issue, February 1986, "all the way through". I debinded
it, cropped it, scanned it, handed it to Gaming Alexandria to
process, got it processed, and then put it on Internet Archive,
resulting in three sets of images: The Raw Scans, a "Readable"
version and an "Aesthetic" version.

The "Readable" version has been heavily processed and contrasted. It
makes it very easy to read a page because it has a really nice
dependable color setup for it:

[Computer_Shopper_February_1986_Readable_0018-799x1024]

Contrasted with the "Aesthetic" version, that looks more like you
would expect the newsprint and bleed-through original to look:

[Computer-Shopper_February_1986_Aesthetic_0018-799x1024]

I personally prefer the "Aesthetic" - it brings me back to the way
things were when I would buy Computer Shoppers at the local
Microcenter and scour them for information and inspiration. But a
researcher, and more importantly an Optical Character Recognizer
prepping things for searches by researchers, will much prefer working
with the Readable version.

Now, Here Comes The Pitch.

[s-l1600-3-1024x768]

So, I live here now.

For the next however-long-it-takes, I'll be debinding issues, doing
careful scans of them, then putting the resulting piles of pages into
baggies and sending them into cold storage for permanent holding,
awaiting the next time they might have use, or to redo a problematic
scan. That's happening. I'm just going to be on this all year, when I
can.

But this effort of mine is rather meaningless unless there are real
humans and smart scripts going over what's being produced.

By a back of the napkin calculation, there will be at least 100,000
and more likely 150,000+ pages of Computer Shopper issues scanned
during this project. There's going to be a lot of them, and they're
going to be jammed full of information, imagery, embarrassment and
glory.

I really hope that a group of people, together or separately, start
using this bounty to rip out BBS listings, find trends in pricing and
nomenclature, in tracking down humble beginnings and finding other
amazing tidbits throughout computing history.

It's nice to drop 400-800 pages at once into an item, but unless I
get some of those nerds out there scouring the pages for interesting
things, it's just me scanning into a void.

If you know people will be interested, help them become aware. And if
you see something interesting, bring it out and make it part of
sharing, wherever you want to.

This will be an incredible amount of work. Folks threw thousands of
dollars into acquisitions of hardware and paper and I'm going to
blast a lot of my personal time into scanning these.

Make it worth it.

Addendum:

This entry got a lot of attention. Two questions arose, and I'll
answer them both here:

Are There Missing Issues?

Yes, there are. Here's the list. If people want to donate or buy good
quality copies for me, mail me at jason@textfiles.com. Here's the
missing issues as far as I can tell:

  * Everything before November 1983
  * 1984: January, October, November
  * 1985: October
  * 1986: December
  * 1988: June, November
  * 1989: April
  * 1994: April, May, August, November
  * 1995: February, March
  * 1996: April, May, June
  * 1997: July, September
  * 1998: January, May
  * 1999: April, July, August

If people send them to me, I'll take them off this list. So if this
list is here, I'm still missing them.

    I second how awesome Hubz at Gaming Alexandria is. I worked with
    him a bit on his old scanning guide before dropping out to work
    on my SNES and PS2 manual scans. If they are helping with
    processing scans, I should see if they are up to fixing my PS1
    raws- editing is slowing progress down.
    I collected Computer Shoppers throughout the 80s and 90s- my
    uncle sold computers when I was a kid and I built easily 50+
    systems as a sideline during my college years. Every month I
    would dig through the Computer Shopper looking for deals and
    tracking prices. I think I had about 12 feet of them stacked on
    my bookshelves before the ex cleaned house and chucked them all.

    What else to say, Thank You!
    Such magazines, frequently discarded initially, now are saving
    everyone who want to assemble computer from some specific time
    span. So that's not only a "window" to the history.
    And, if the de-binding is done specific way, it can be re-bound.
    The heat-melting glue is the best thing here as pages can be
    re-glued back. The polivinyl glue requiring chemistry to
    disassemble is worse, but the re-binding will work when done like
    bookbinder does.

    I just purchased a scanner for my project and chose a smaller one
    than yours but from the same series - Fujitsu fi-8150. I chose it
    for it's mechanics, not for it's electronics. It "eats"
    EVERYTHING. From thin pages to conference badges. I have spent a

    I was mentioning this daunting project to my wife, especially the
    heat gun technique and she had heard of an alternate technique -
    freeze the magazine and the glue binding becomes brittle enough
    to pull the pages apart.

    Was glad to hear you're using a sheet feeder instead of a flatbed
    - that will make it a little easier and more efficient.

    I bought those every once in a while. The one thing I remember
    was an early-mid 80s issue that had an article (yes, in between
    all the pages of ads were a few articles!) on the latest Comdex
    or some such computer convention at which there was an influx of
    Asian PC-compatible components suppliers. One guy said to another
    "I bet I can buy the parts for a PC-XT including 20MB hard drive
    for under $1,000 [way under street price at the time] and it'll
    work. After scrounging on the sales floor he had spent about
    $990, assembled it, powered it up and it worked.

    This is an amazing endeavor. I still have many of my computer
    shoppers, but tossed a bunch due to mouse damage. I would
    absolutely pay for access to an archive of old issues. In terms
    of the time for scanning, I haven't thought this through
    carefully, but, I would say that I would be interested to
    understand if a sharp blade or jig could not be used to simply
    slice the binding clean off, maybe 0.25-0.375'' (6-8mm) from the
    edge. In this case, no more glue, no more binding, pages already
    in a stack, no waiting. There is, due to the binding, typically
    nothing on the inner 10-12mm of the pages anyway. Would that work
    at all?

    A (woodworking) bandsaw, with a fine-pitch (high count of teeth
    per inch/cm, like: 24TPI) blade is a MUCH faster way to de-bind
    bound items; in comparison to using a box cutter or similar to
    cut out 2-3 pages at a time. The main downside is that even with
    a good blade, the cut edge is more-or less ragged. Possibly a
    'toothless' (rubber/foam cutting blade) installed on the same
    bandsaw would avoid that downside, but I haven't tried it myself.
    A similar, but slower, and likely size-limited, possibility would
    be using a (stationary) scroll saw.
