This just MADE my day

I doubt he considers himself a member of our community, though I would like to think that being involved with old electronics in general he would have some affinity for it. BTW, I confess to have caused the run-up in the price of those documents. I misjudged Al's interest in them, and wanted to make sure that somebody else didn't get them, only to have them disappear into a black hole. It turns out that Al outbid me anyhow. I've offered to buy the documents from Al after he's scanned them. I really appreciate that Al is willing to spend his personal funds to build the archive, and think that it would be a good thing if we could spread the burden around somehow. --Bill
