As far as I can see, my online subscription only gives me access to magazines electronically, which have been published since the start of my subscription.

I would welcome the ability to get magazines prior to that with interesting articles. Ideally in electronic format and through some kind of web interface. I would be prepared to pay something towards this, though perhaps not quite as much as a current magazine.

In my ideal world, I would be able to buy individual articles (or series of them) rather then the whole magazine. Adverts for an Asian lathe from 1962 are unlikely to be of value to me

A digital subscription allows you to download PDFs of a selection of pages (e.g. an article) or a whole issue from the archive. No additional charge.

It looks like that discussion has helped a few folks.

Here's another musing. Editing an article today and one of the photos was barely more than thumbnail size as it had been heavily cropped. In the past it would have been unusable as blowing it up would have blurred it and traditional resharpening would have made awful artefacts.

Now there are AI-based programmes that can recover detail like you wouldn't believe. This is in Topaz Gigapixel. compare the simply resampled version at left with the AI version at right. At least we have a usable image if not a perfect one.
