OTOH, there are vast quantities of old manuals, schematics, text books, etc. that get thrown out each year because no one will pay for them.

If something has sat here for 23 years and not moved, it is soon going to go away. I filled up John's car last time he came down. I would much rather they went to a good home than the dumpster, but most people do not want the "clutter". -----Original Message----- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of ben via cctalk Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2019 6:57 PM To: cctalk@classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Archiving information, was Re: ADM-3A question On 8/15/2019 4:33 PM, Marvin Johnston via cctalk wrote: > Instead of the search engines working to improve AI, they should be > putting more effort into ESP. > However with 'FREE' web hosting vanishing faster the Dodo, you have lost most of the Small sites that may of had the information.
