    I don’t see the point in these pages. You cannot read them unless you download the PDF file. Is it just a page reference for content?

    Yes, Doug, it’s just a reference to the PDF article from the magazine, so people searching for something like “illustrations” would find it. For people who’ve got this issue of the magazine, it’s not going to be something that they’d need.

      “For people who’ve got this issue of the magazine, it’s not going to be something that they’d need.”

      I download the PDF for each magzine plus, also in PDF, those techniques that I find to be of interest PLUS the practice files. All have keyword tags in my Organizer.

      What this means is that:

      1. when I travel, there is no need carry a pile of magazines

      2. if I don’t have access to the internet, I still have availalble those articles, in conveneient PDF form, that I need to help me with my work.

      It’s the magazine that’s superfluous, not the online PDFs.
