National Geographic in the palm of your hand
I hope you haven”t been saving all your old National Geographic magazines.
I mean, they’re nice to have and flip through but they can become dust collectors and take up a lot of space.
Plus, now it turns out that you really didn’t have to save them in the first place.
That’s because National Geographic has just released everything – and I mean everything – on a portable hard drive.
For $199.99, you can now own the entire collection of National Geographic Magazines ever published and it comes to you in one, neat 160GB hard drive.
In Nat Geo’s words:
“Explore 120 years of amazing discoveries, fascinating maps, and the world’s best photography with The Complete National Geographic.
This definitive collection of every issue of National Geographic magazine, digitally reproduced in stunning high resolution, brings you the world and all that is in it. Use the advanced interface to explore a topic, search for photographs, browse the globe, or wander on your own expedition.
Access all of the maps, photos, and magazine issues found on the DVD collection in one external hard drive. Browse and search the entire collection without needing to swap out DVDs.
Lightweight and travel-friendly, the hard drive is just 3″ x 5″ and requires only a USB connection.”
Best of all, the Nat Geo people used only 60GB of the available space on the hard drive leaving plenty of room to accommodate future upgrades (or for your digital collection of True Detective and Mad magazines).
Too bad the collection didn’t make it in time for Christmas – but, I’m guessing that there’s never a wrong time for a gift like this.
But, if you don’t mind swapping out discuss, there’s a Complete National Geographic Collection available on six DVDs for $89.95 (Deluxe Edition with a personalized disc holder) or $59.95 (for the Standard Edition).
