Hi guys.
First, thanks for the support and curiosity. Trust me, I am just as anxious as you are.

I will be shooting a video in the morning and doing my best to answer all the questions that have come up in this thread, YouTube comments and Facebook.

Thanks again!

If I can pay $75 or whatever it is for ESPN the Magazine I think I can pay whatever the SMA Subscription price is ha ha. Doesnt really care how much it is, still count me in for a subscription. I may even buy my daughter a subscription as well so she can get something in the mail every month or every other month depending if its monthly or bi monthly ha ha. She loves the hobby, is really into reading and LOVES to get mail lol. Scott, I claim dibs on issue 1 of the first magazine so how much extra is it going to cost me LOL.

Printed for sure. Im a printer and nothing beats the texture and ease of a printed page. You can park up under a tree on a nice day with your copy of SMA mag and read away... as well as have it next to you on the bench as a reference!

True but if you keep buying printed stuff there wont be any trees to park under!

i like print better but Digital is the way to go, cheaper,no shipping , and green (no im not a tree hugger)

 

[ScaleModelMadman]

Yup and that's why we're offering both.

I also prefer printed, but year after year they start taking up too much room, so I want to move to digital only. My main problem with that is that most magazines layout is intended for the printed version and is far from ideal to be read as a digital version.

 

[Dusky]

I'd recommend that you use a high resolution (299 or higher) and size for the digital format, even though it won't be ideal for those with slower internet. Hardly anyone these days still uses dial-up.

I may have missed it in the thread but how will the digital be offered? or not offered yet? I mean thru this website or magcloud?

That may have been true a few years ago. Nowdays paper manaufactures are planting Tree Farms. In Europe alone the percentage of forests and increased due to tree farming and Paper production. 2 trees planted to every one felled is a common practice.
I hear ya...We all need to be sustainable these days I reackon

Ah but that is only part of the story. They do plant trees yes, but (over here at least) plant mostly eucalyptus which is not an endemic species and by doing so they are destroying the local ecosystem and landscape. Most of Portugal used to be covered in oak, birch and similar, nowadays we have only a few little spots left, everything else is eucalyptus and pine trees, and all the fauna is mostly gone as well due to this.
