From: "Dwight K. Elvey" <dwight.elvey at amd.com> Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 1:27 PM My words are often terse and sound abrasive, obviously that's not the way I mean it. I'm a Texan and Irish, it may be racist but I truly am as hard headed as it sounds. I understand the difference between archiving and distribution but in my mind there is a relation: I over use the Library of Alexandria as an example of histories greatest archive. It was a true archive but it held unique data existing nowhere else. When it burned down most of history to that point was lost. Distribution can be an archival tool, I recommend people download as much of my site as possible. God forbid if later today I get hit by a car I don't want the information I've gathered to be lost. Any single archive can be lost (no matter what anyone thinks). For me the true archiving of the data includes redundancy, that is why most of my site is mirrors of other sites. I send material related to other sites to the proper webmaster and try to make sure it is mirrored. I also keep personal copies of information both on my site and others. If my site disappears I hope someone else will put my information up somewhere. That is why my site is oriented toward distribution. he psystem portion includes the material as well as the tools to use it on PC's, etc. Randy www.s100-manuals.com
