all very possible Jerry, but it is my understanding that Jan Still offered to help bring the NAPCA out of the hard copy age and the seed fell upon the rock hard ground (heads) instead of the good soil... and achieved the same results as the Biblical parable.
I predict that the NAPCA will demise when the "greybeards" that Tom spoke of have passed on unless a new generation successfully transplants the organization into the 21st century pronto.
A suggestion on how they could finance it? Easy, take ALL the past issues of Automag and transcribe them onto a CD or DVD and sell it ONLINE, with annual updates.
They could also put the content of current AUTOMAG issues online and make it a paid subscription deal. (Just like visiting Ralph Shattuck's website.) The greybeards that want it on paper could have that option if they want it, but by opening it up to the internet market I am sure they would probably double or quadruple their revenue.
Just my $0.02
