    There are, of course, those services which sell free

 datasheets) to people.  Their customers must be pretty gullible.  But
 every component I've ever needed a datasheet for, I've been able to find
 as a free PDF with little or no difficulty, usually from the manufacturer. 
That is my catch 22 ... If I knew the manufacturer ... then I could download them.
My favorite supplier tends list things like ... 74ls00  0.10  or 32kx8 ram 100ns
3.95.
