BUMs

idrougge · 14 January 2016, 04:58

The first five issues of Blitz User Magazine have been scanned and can be accessed at https://archive.org/details/blitzuser

But according to what I've read, there were BUMs up to issue 9. Does anyone have them, and can someone scan them? The uploaded issues have some indispensible information not in the manual.

Sorry, but I giggle every time I read the abbreviation, BUMs

On a more serious note, thanks for helping to preserve the magazines for all to use

Thanks for the scans!

The blitz2k site has the files from BUM 6 to 10 and BUI 4 to 8, no scans though.

Not my scans, mind you.

Thanks for the link. Were the later BUMs floppy-only or were they also available in magazine format?

I'm sure they wee included on some of the CU or AF cover CDs. I've still got some of my cover CDs, so I'll check it out.

It is worth keeping these docs alive, as there are a few Blitz projects going on at the moment.

It says in issue six that there is no magazine edition of that issue, so I suppose they went disk-only after issue five.

I've got the german issues upto 10 or so here, so one can assume there were more than five in total....

idrougge · 25 January 2016, 04:45

On paper?

Cylon · 25 January 2016, 22:29

yes. different formats altogether (letter size, collegeblock size...). simple copied magazines. Laying around in my basement somewhere...

idrougge · 26 January 2016, 16:05

Do you have a scanner in your basement?

Lonewolf10 · 26 January 2016, 22:52

Please get them out of your basement before it gets flooded... or worse!

Ok, i found the folder. It is like this:

Issue 1 and 2, english copy,
Issue 3 is missed

,
Issues 4, 5 and 6, small form factor in german,
Issues 7, 8 and 9 big a4 for ringbinder in german, there was a compilation of issues 1 to 6 layouted for ringbinder as well (which i don't have),
1x Blitz userlibs extension ring binder format in german, addendums for the manual, which i got also (first ed in german).
That's it i think.

It's a shame that you seem to be missing issue 3
