I don't think I was being 'Snarky'... I was attempting to say you were.

We are not children, we don't need to be 'corrected'. If they place their magazines on these CD's, that's exactly what the original creator asked for.

Obviously you have a bad taste from personal experience with Advisor... perhaps you should take that up with them. These forums are for attempting to help people with problems. Since the only way you can get old issues from Advisor is via CD, there is not much that we can do about it.

Again, that probably needs to be taken up with Advisor - they probably only want to support one media format.
