Anyone interested in scans from old magazines?

Ok, when I was younger I used to collect all articles I could find about Roxette in Swedish newspapers and magazines and German music magazines (like Bravo, Popcorn etc).

Anyway, now I’ve got me a scanner so I was wondering if there’s any interest in these scans?

Edit: Ok, I’ve started scanning some stuff.
I’m not an expert (just got me this scanner), but I hope you’ll enjoy it :)

Thank you very much!! Great Articles!!!! More Marie???

Lurirox said on August 10, 2006 20:34:

Thank you very much for the old articles. I absolutely hope that you have more articles for us - and that we will get them some day. :-)

I have a site with old articles, too. There you can find the original swedish articles - small, I know but I didn’t want to lose space I can use for more articles in the future- and german translations of most of the articles.

I haven’t worked on the site for a while cause I have to learn for my final exam in november. After that I will continue with the site.

CoyRoy said on August 11, 2006 18:27:

more scans!!!!

Rox-Van said on August 11, 2006 18:47:

Great scans thanks for sharing again...

whateveriam said on August 11, 2006 20:31:

Now, go and do some studying...

Strest said on August 14, 2006 22:57:

Sorry, forgot to tell you; the scanner died on me :(

It was a used scanner I got for free and I’ve probably scanned several times more pages during the last week than what had been scanned in total before.

I’ll likely pick a new one up tomorrow.
This one was from 1999 or 2000 I think...

whateveriam said on August 14, 2006 22:58:

Aww, bless ya hun! Never mind, should be cheap to get another one...

Strest said on August 14, 2006 23:12:

Yeah, looks like I can pick one up for less than EUR60 (599 SEK).

I’d prefer one that can do A3, but ouch, they cost 10 times as much! Insane...

whateveriam said on August 14, 2006 23:18:

To be honest, its easier just to do it in halves- A3 ones are like those projectors - ridiculously expensive for what they are and what they can do... which really isn’t that much
