Some notes on this disc . . .
SCOPE
We have tried as hard as possible to reproduce the feel of the paper
issues along with every last word, however because of practical
considerations we had to omit a small amount of negligable material.
For example, the older issues frequently contained a header for
a particular section (such as Travel Tips) even when no material
was submitted. We omitted these, and we also omitted the Roman
numeral system that was often used to organize each issue.

OBSOLETE ADDRESSES
Although we've included all advertisements from past issues, please do not
submit any orders without calling or writing the company first. Even if
they're still there, they might have moved, their stock may have changed,
or the prices may be different. Also, many E-mail addresses and web
pages may have changed. Use an Internet search engine if you reach a
nonexistent web site or get an "undeliverable E-mail" message.
VIDEO
Some photographs may appear very coarse or have a series of fine lines
running horizontally through them. These may be photographs from video
footage.
CORRECTIONS
Some minor spelling corrections have been made during the translation
of the printed Storm Tracks to electronic form.
UNABRIDGED SECTIONS
Since the archive format has lifted the cost and space restrictions of
traditional print media, many articles appear in their full, unedited
versions. They will be marked "[ Unabridged ]"
at the beginning of the article.
PHOTOS
Some photos may contain enhancements and markings. This process was
sometimes done to help improve contrast of key features when the
original issue was printed.
If we do not have access to the original photos, you may see these
markings on some Archive images. We have also done very minor
retouching of some photos to eliminate spots and other anomalies on
the images.
FRACTIONS
Fractions are written out character by character. For example, 3/4
represents three-fourths, 1/8 represents one-eighth, and 3 1/2 represents
three-and-one-half.
ACCURACY
The majority of the text has been compiled using an optical character
recognition system. Although we have manually edited the results for
accuracy, there may still be some errors. Feel free to notify us
where any of these are occurring (refer to the HTML filename
where possible).
