Erica S. replied to Laurie Dodd's discussion The role of zines in the digital age"1. Up until the last zine, no, it was all typewritten and cut and paste. For the last one, because I wrote it when we were moving out of our place and my typewriters were packed (plus I couldn't write at the house with all the boxes), I used a…"
James Limm replied to Laurie Dodd's discussion The role of zines in the digital age"1. Yes. Word Processor, library printer, photoshop
2. Because I want to make the kind of thing I would want to read. I am 500x more likely to read your zine if you hand one to me than I am to read your blog if you email me a link to…"
Michael Duckett replied to Laurie Dodd's discussion The role of zines in the digital age"I could write a much longer and more rambling answer but you can always get that off me later if you want.
Brief as I can make it:

Ruud Janssen - TAM & IUOMA replied to Laurie Dodd's discussion The role of zines in the digital age"1. Yes, for decades

With that said, I am going to start experimenting with handwritten articles and sketches then scanning them in. So…"
Will replied to Laurie Dodd's discussion The role of zines in the digital age"Thanks for the reply Laurie. One more question: what's the deadline on answering this, so that people don't keep providing you with answers after you've handed your essay in?

James N. Dawson replied to Laurie Dodd's discussion The role of zines in the digital age"I type many of my zines on Dell 1998 Dell computer, with Word 97.
