I was poking around in their website when I came across this gem in the
section about submitting an article.

"These days, we like articles to be submitted as (preferably) Word
documents or .txt files on a Zip disk, CD-ROM or floppy disk, formatted
for PCs."

Zip drive? Floppy disk? Which century are these guys in?

Leo resisted email and internet for years....they are a pretty conservative bunch!

**Yep, they're frustrating. I subscribed to their on-line edition,
briefly, until I found out that you had to be on-line to read the damned
thing. I thought I could browse through the mag whilst on holidays (and
away from an internet connection). I re-subscribed to the paper edition,
though that would not be my preference.

I won't mention Leo's idiotic stance on all things conservative, like
his constant denial of anthropogenic global warming.

Oops, I just did.

** Got nothing to do with SC - its the folk who are likely to send them
articles who are old school.

SC are simply saying they have the ability to deal with older and even
obsolete data formats.

For a project article, the author normally includes photos and hand drawn
diagrams - cos many of them do not have the software to create pretty
schems nor a decent digital camera.

That wouldn't stop them from accepting stuff on a USB key, and I'm not
sure where you'd find a zip disk these day outside of a museum. Last
time I saw one for sale would have been about 1999.

SC always redraw circuit diagrams anyway, no matter how the contributor
submits them. So you are wasting your time if you CAD a circuit diagram
for SC, you may as well just scan your original hand-drawing.

It isn't worth taking the time to CAD your hand-drawing because SC won't
print it directly anyway. They will always redraw it. So you may as well
just send your scanned hand-drawn circuit and not waste time with CAD if
you have made a hand sketch.

Rubbish.
Nobody HAS TO use snail-mail anything anymore, anyone capable of sending
a contribution to SC these days would use email (scan the drawings and photos)
or if they are really locked in a techno-time-warp they could still fax 'em....
