Question 1

For the cds, is the definition and color museum quality?

Accepted Answer

Definitely not. That's my main complaint. When you zoom in, it's pretty grainy (low dpi scans). It was great to see all those old mags again, but I was a bit disappointed in the quality. Hope this helps.

Question 2

Does anyone know if this will run under Windows 8?

Accepted Answer

I use it on a PC under XP, but it's just a DVD with each MAD magazine scanned in its own .pdf file, indexed into yearly folders. Any machine with a DVD reader and Acrobat or some fake PDF reader ought to be able to view these.  So I'm guessing a Windows 8 machine should have no problem with them whatsoever.  Good memories!

Question 3

I have the 2006 single DVD and the last issue is #460, December of 2005.  The new version seems to be two DVD.  Does the new version cover the issues beyond 2005 and issue #460?  How many years are covered after 2005?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

There's only been one printing, in 2006, on a single dual-layer DVD-ROM. We've tried multiple times to get Amazon to fix the description so it's in accord with the box, but they'll only do it if we can refer them to a manufacturer's web page. Since the product has been out of print since 2008, it's impossible to meet that requirement.

Question 4

Does this work on a Mac computer?

Accepted Answer

I believe they're in .PDF format. You may want to resubmit the question about whether or not it's .PDF. If .PDF works with Mac, then, yes.
