Hi Michael,

I posted it as a perk for visiting my website.  I sure
didn't scan 208 odd pages to fill out other people's
websites.

In reality, after thinking about it for a while, I
don't mind if Bill uses it for content on his
website or on his CD project.

It's funny though that you chose to use the
term mirror.  As iIt turns out, simply picking
and choosing your content from other
websites isn't really mirroring at all, is it?

There is NO worries about the Reference
manual material perishing, search for it on eBay.
Any given day of the week, 2-10 of them can be
found for a reasonable price.  It's not like I'm
hosting the digital equivalent of the Mona Lisa
or anything.

Later,
Craig
