Those did at least provide some sort of easy access to topos. Or am I misremembering in my dotage? I always thought it was an odd mix of USGS and National Geographic, not to mention confusing to the great general public about authorship/responsibility.

Should we buy a big plotter and print off topos, etc. for people whenever they want them? Or provide computers with oversized monitors and that's it? What are people planning to do?
