"Soaring" magazine on CD-ROM like EAA

Dick Johnson told me of this: Can you imagine all of the 'Soaring" magazines
from 1934 to present on a searchable CD-ROM? Could this be a profitable
project for SSA? Anyone have experience in this and know the costs and
potential profit?

EAA did it - the following is from their web news:

SPORT AVIATION MAGAZINE ON CD-ROM ($159.00)
UPDATE NOW AVAILABLE (19.99)

The latest upgrade to the popular Sport Aviation on CD-ROM collection is now
available. Including the entire collection of Experimenter/Sport Aviation
magazine from 1953-2002, the upgrade is part of all new set purchases. The
upgrade includes Sport Aviation magazine images through 2002, an updated search
database to include 2002 articles, and improved search capabilities from the
original version. The CD-ROMs are fully searchable by author, subject, date,
and full text. You can view every article, every advertisement, photographs,
drawings, and letters from a half-century of publications.
