So from now on, I will switch from posting a new scan like clockwork every Monday (which I did for ten years, see above) to posting one whenever the mood strikes me, or perhaps when it ties in to current events.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Retro Scan of the Week&#8221; will become &#8220;Retro Scan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am also working on an exciting new feature for <em>VC&#038;G<\/em> that can hopefully pick up where Retro Scan of the Week left off &#8212; at least in terms injecting new life into the site.  So stay tuned.  In the mean time, thanks for reading.
