     I have what seems like the same collection, Brian.  It begins way 
back in the McZ days and ends with the final issue of Inside Basic.  Of 
course there have been many changes in the Mac OS as well as the 
ZBasic/FutureBASIC product itself over the years.  As such a lot of 
what is in these older magazines doesn't really apply anymore.  But I 
just finished glancing through several of the issues and there are 
beginner tutorials that are still quite valuable and valid.

     I also enjoyed reminding myself just how much of his heart and soul 
Ross Lambert poured into his magazine.  It was also fun rereading those 
early articles that Mr. Staz wrote.  Staz has a way of using the 
written word to get an idea across to his reader that is unique and 
refreshing (and he always made me laugh).

     Hope someone takes you up on your generous offer, Brain.
