- OhMeadhbh 6mo agoYeah. It was randomly happening upon OMNI on the Internet Archive that inspired the article. What a delightful magazine!
- wileydragonfly 6mo agoExact same experience here.
- gedy 6mo agoThat was a favorite of mine hands down. Anyone have suggestions on where to access all/most issues?
- mikestew 6mo agoShort answer: probably not. Discussion from almost ten years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14472265 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14472265 There is the Internet Archive, but the scans aren’t great: https://archive.org/details/omni-archive/Best_of_OMNI_1_1980/ https://archive.org/details/omni-archive/Best_of_OMNI_1_1980...
- TuringNYC 6mo agoNo idea if this is the case anymore, but many NY Public Libraries had "Stacks" where they kept lots of magazines going back to the 1970s. I havent checked for at least a decade, but that was a lot of fun -- we'd go there and look at old computer ads from the 1980s. They would have a binder per decade -- giant thick binders. If you're willing to put up with the hassle, you could find them on Microfiche for sure. I've found newspapers from the 1700s in NYPL's microfiche archives https://www.nypl.org/about/divisions/general-research-division/microforms https://www.nypl.org/about/divisions/general-research-divisi...
