 Highly Recommended!!, 2008-06-08
After reading the other reviews, I decided to try this even though other reviewers had some gripes about it. I'm glad I ignored the negative reviews! I am a huge fan of the magazine, and now I will be able to read all of the issues in the entire run! PDF format makes it very portable and easy to use. Well worth the money if you enjoy the magazine - don't believe the negative reviews this product is awesome!

Nice to re-read the classic first ten years, 2008-04-29
It was nice to re-read the classic first ten years when Kenny and Beard were on board. I bought the first few issues while in VietNam and it was a blast of fresh air then and still a good read now. Some of Doug Kenny's articles are priceless. I continued reading the mag when I went back to college. Everyone in the dorm was a fan of the magazine. This product is a great way to collect the entire series.
 Beware - not entirely complete, 2008-04-23
The first thing I looked for on this DVD was one of my favorite issues, "Self Indulgence" only to discover the 1973 issue #12 is missing pages 31-41. This was a comic page centerfold and had probably been ripped out of the copy which was scanned for this DVD. How many other issues have whole sections like this missing? Also for some reason my DVD-ROM drive was unable to access any of the program files on this disc. The only folders which show up are 1970's issues. I have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat but it couldn't open the start file either. I tried it on a friends computer and it worked normally there. I don't know why my drive at home can't read it. I wrote to technical support at GIT almost a week ago, but I have received no response yet. I also mentioned the missing pages.

Although it is sometimes awkward maneuvering through the PDF documents it's all there - as a long-time subscriber, I've really enjoyed re-reading the articles and enjoying the cartoons

Acceptable, with reservations, 2008-03-07
First subscribed to NatLamp August 1970, magazine was great until it jumped the shark in the mid 80's, had every issue until the basement flooded in 1991 and destroyed my entire collection. I cried. Been waiting for this DVD for a loooong time. Only slightly disappointed. I was not really aware of the sheer number of advertisements in each issue, this DVD has them all. There is a National Lampoon "watermark" running across every page when displayed, not sure if that can be turned off but I find it very distracting and it interferes badly with some of the pages that didn't scan too well to begin with.
Loved seeing the "Trots and Bonnie" comics again, had forgotten how funny "True Facts" really was, and reading Chris Millers many pre-"Animal House" stories was icing on the cake.
Would have liked to have had a "search" function, for the price this is a decent piece of work. 4 stars.
