Complete New Yorker on DVD for $20

[blessingx]

This gets crazy discounted once a year and it's that time. If you want a wealth of fiction, music reviews, film commentary, cartoons, etc. here you go. Although the software isn't up to the content (though updates to it are better than some early reviews), 4,000 issues over 80 years for under $20 is incredible. Content is searchable by keywords, but like all these summary DVD collections, they're not going to go back and get permissions from every writers estate so these are decent resolution images - basically PDFs - of every page, not the text. You get over it quickly though and you can always 'print to PDF' with OS X or Acrobat to get outside. There's an update disc from 2005-2008 also for $19, and it looks like they're abandoning the DVD format so this may be your last chance.

Hey make your laptop a poor mans Kindle!
