| I was able to make a password and get in to download it, only problem is that it goes to the summer issue, and not the one with Alex in it, despite clicking on that issue! |

Obviously they have a lot of work to do to make this accessible online. I believe this is the first ever "online issue" and before it was a regular printed magazine. I wish it still was printed. There's something nice about flipping through shiny pages with your hands, then filing it on a shelf.
Then again, I'm a bibliophile, not a technophile. |

Click on the OP's link.
Click on the Alex issue.
Click on "login".
Enter email/password/and login.
Should take you there.
A bit of awkward navigation to get to the article. (You can type page 42 into the page number box at the top, between the arrows)

Well, I'm ready to pull my hair out! I've tried three times to read this article. When I zoom the page out so I can read the incredibly tiny print, it won't let me scroll down, or turn the page. Argggh!

Yet another of the many "pretty" things in the magazine. There seems to only be ONE way to do anything. In this case, the ONLY way to see the rest of the page is to click&drag. I.e. the same as works with Google maps.
Actually, I can't recall. Maybe there is another way... zoom out the zoom back in on a different spot. Yeah, like that's a natural way of reading!

The people who designed this magazine software don't seem to understand why content is moving onto the web and they seem to hold the faulty belief that online magazines should mirror print ones. Yet another example of an old organization completely misunderstanding the concept of the Internet. At least they understand it's important. 
Talk about a usability nightmare... |

You follow the link she gave. |
I did follow the link and I got the other magazine cover not the one Alex was on. I will try once more. |

You read it? I couldn't get past the first page, due to technological problems with the site!

You can right click and select SAVE PAGE to save as PDF, which I think is easier than reading it online.

could someone copy and paste the text ? Be sure to keep the bylines and copyrights'. This is fair use of the text please post it someone. or even save the pages than make a pdf file of said page. Better tell them to have it in many diffrent formats for dowhloading. for example pdf,doc.odf, even plain text Thanks  |

I already tried that, but the whole text appears as question marks, like this: "??? ???? ????? ???? ???"

| I really enjoyed it. It was a pleasant surprise to read the portions on Alex's Girl friend. They are both good spokes-people for the Aspie community. |
