This is a unique CD-ROM of an extremely rare Argos catalogue. Total trip
in 1980's nostalgia. 284 pages bursting with products! Easily viewable on
your home computer. It is very difficult to obtain one of these catalogues
and I have seen them sell on EBAY for more than £100 and thats not even
including the expensive postage fee on such a heavy item!
Buy a CD-ROM (in a jewel case) of the entire catalogue for only £2.50!
Each page of the catalogue has been carefully scanned and digitally
enhanced. On the CD-ROM the entire catalogue is available as both single
jpeg images and a PDF document which is easily viewable in the freely
downloadable Adobe Acrobat Reader. (www.adobe.com) Zoom in to see product
details or close-ups of individual items! Instantly jump to any page! If
you are not already familiar with Adobe Reader I highly recommend you
spend a few minutes learning some of the neat tricks it can perform.
Browse four pages as thumbnails and scroll over any area of a page using
the zoom feature! I have provided an example of this in one of my
photographs for the game "UP AGAINST TIME". Use the original Index page
to locate any item, simply enter the page number and you are there!
