Documentation

William wrote.... To which Richard replied... I don't want to detract from what others besides Bitsavers have done. Any documentation made available online is a huge plus, a great benefit to all, and is sincerely appreciated. Many thanks to all those who have done it in addition to bitsavers. However, that being said... there is much more to the historical archiving of a document for posterity than slapping it on a scanner and putting it on the web. Al does not simply do that. He has specific expertise in the correct and best way to scan the documents (with regards to settings and such), uses other utilities to process the images before converting to PDF, in many cases hand adjusting them, etc. It is an art, not a "press a scanner button" thing, and Al has it down cold. So long story short, emailing Al with a URL of the scanned PDF is not the best situation (although it's certainly appreciated). The best situation is to get the original to Al so he can scan it himself and thus we all get museum quality results. Just my own two millidollars worth. Jay
