I agree, though it's not practical for me to do that right now. Also, I haven't
got the tools to generate PDF's. I generally pass along the TIF files from the
scan, and allow the end-user to figure out what to do with them. The normally
just print them. Since the schematics are 'B' sized, it wouldn't be easy to
make decent scans of them anyway, as my scanners max out at legal size. If he'd
wanted the doc's, they'd already be in the mail. If I were scanning, I'd
still
be at it.
My experience with Herb Johnson is that his documents are seldom complete. Now,
what he's offered has always been WAY better than nothing, but it's terribly
frustrating to buy a manual at $0.60 per sheet only to find it really doesn't
contain what you need. Of course there's no way for him to know what you need,
but you get what I mean. In a floppy disk OEM manual, if the sheet with the
user-installable option jumpers is missing, the whole manual is worthless,
though, so I'd be sure to ask him to ensure that all the pages are there, and,
in fact, I'd personally prefer to buy just that page.

if you have a scanner, you could turn them into a PDF
:) I was just trying
to be helpful....

I've got several copies. No need to pay 60

needed, I'll get them made for you at whatever the local minimum is, probably
about 5 cents/page, though I haven't used Kinko's in a few years.
