My recent post re BBM manuals has left me with a bit
of a
dilemma; I've got several more boxes of various manuals etc.
to dispose of and I'm not sure what's the best way.
On the one hand, it benefits everyone to have them in Al's
hands, who has the means, time and willingness (thanks, Al)
to make them available to us all.
On the other hand, anyone who actually owns the relevant
equipment would probably like to have original documentation.
I have Burroughs equipment, but still I think it should go to
bitsavers. Hey, if I want to, I can then try to get them from Al after
scanning, if I want. While others have also scanned (and we thank
you), bitsavers is still the best archive, and probably has the best
chance of long term survival.
