Btw, did you know you can handle 200-300 switches with a single Pro Micro? I cover the 200-switch method in my write-up titled The (Japanese) duplex matrix.

Honestly I'd love to buy physical copies of these issues. At the recent NEKB meetup at mode someone brought a mock up magazine called switch+ that they made for a school project and it was really nice. I figured it could make a nice prop in photo shoots and whatnot. Just a thought :D
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, Twenty... Yeah that seems about right.

He contacted me last week and we exchanged some mails but with the weekly frequency it wouldn't be feasible I guess. Maybe a yearbook or something similar. But it would be a huge work.
