old HP manuals + HP Journal

I have a copy of the resulting CDs and I'm pretty sure that I sent a DVD of them all to Eric Smith. I also have a vague memory of someone being forced to take down old manuals (by either HP or Agilent), possibly temporarily until an agreement could be put in place. Maybe that's why the stuff is not up now. As for ftp://ftp.agilent.com/pub/manuals, the "Welcome ...txt" at the bottom says: "Because this site is a staging area, and not a resting place, you may find that a file you downloaded Monday is no longer here on Tuesday. When this happens, you will find the file as a manual under its product listing on http://www.tm.agilent.com. That is the permanent home for Agilent manuals." If you do head over to http://www.tm.agilent.com and drop 16500C into the search boxx you get a bunch of interesting hits as far back as 1996. Sounds too recent though ...
