"ST News" Issue Statistics

ALL ISSUES AND THEIR STATISTICS

I am a data nut. I know it, and realising that you know you have a problem might just be the first step on my way to a cure, or at least that's what They usually say. Fact is, however, that I set about hacking and doing all kinds of stuff to old ST NEWS issues to come up with this article filled with trivial information. Hacking, yes, because quite a few of these issues happily refuse to work on the Falcon, even when using "Backward" or anything of that ilk.
