Does anybody know if there’s a website or lisiting of magazine collections on CDROM? I have the MAD Magazine set (which is seriously cool) and I’ve seen the National Geographic collection in stores. Are there any others?

There’s a few I’d like to see:

_Popular Science_ (in order to see the future from the past).  
Car magazines such as _Car and Driver, Motor Trend,_ and _Road and Track_.  
_Life_  
Anthology magazines like _Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine_ would be cool for the portable computer/E-Book type devices.

Any you’d like to see?

If I am not mistaken Wizards of the Coast has put out _Dragon and Dungeon_ magazines out. I would love to see Wizard, SI, or even Life magazine as well.

This may seem/be totally sexist, but I want my Maxim collection to magically transfer itself to CD. I’m moving soon, and I’d really like to take 'em, but they’re bulky and, combined, damn heavy. ☹

I’d like to see the SF digests on CD-rom: _Astounding/Analog_, _Fantasy & Science Fiction_, and _Asimov’s_.
