With all my respects, I think they would be better in
one open repository
as
www.bitsavers.org better than in one like scribd.com which need of
personal
registration. For some reason, my spam increments its volume in proportion
to these supossed 'confidential' subscriptions, and I'm lightly angry with
this matter.
Sergio, I solved this problem with a "boi-de-piranha"* email account on
gmail. EVERYTHING I register I use this e-mail, so I can filter spam with no
troubles :o)

*"Boi de piranha" is a brazilian expression. When people are moving cows
thru the pastage and they need to pass thru a river, they always send the
oldest and weakest cow first, because if there are "piranhas" (I think in
english this carnivore fish is also called piranha) on the river, they will
eat the least valuable cow, and leave others...So this expression applies to
something that can be expendable, to save others.
