> From: JPB > Gone...all gone... :-( It's not all gone, some documents are still out there but I don't think it's appropriate to make a last-ditch effort to grab resources that Malcolm later offered for-fee. IMO, there's a difference between how we can use technology and how we should. YMMV If the resources were so precious, perhaps people should have been paying Malcolm for his efforts while the resources were available for purchase? I offered years ago to host, sell, and send him the proceeds for any of his materials. He declined as he has with all similar offerings. It's all great work but now it's a bit dated as well, and would need a tremendous amount of redacting to be a current, accurate, and quality sort of reference for today's IT personnel. There are at least two things that can be said about old documentation. First, it's better than nothing. Second, if it's old or incomplete it could be worse nothing. Both can be true depending on the specific context. Not only do you not want people to be influenced by obsolete notions of how things work, but you also don't want them talking to management, family, or competitors about how your company can't afford software with documentation from this decade. Then again, for a lot of it, not much has changed since the last decade. As always, lots of angles. I hope something can be done to ensure Malcolm gets what he wants while preserving the resource for the community so that it can be reincarnated later.
