Have you given any thought to bundling the whole thing up as a torrent file for those that want to archive/hoard the whole collection?

However, once things settle down a bit (probably next year) I may make a torrent.

But torrents seem to be ignored by most people, so it may be a lot of effort for nothing; the number of people who've used my other torrents is still in the double-digits even after several years. As it is I have people almost every day trying to scrape my main hpcalc.org web site even though a torrent is provided, so sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time.

Thanks also from me, Eric- a truly wonderful and valuable resource!

I myself do not use torrents for various reasons, including that any use of torrents (or the TOR browser) are regarded with suspicion by many governments, including our own.

As long as each year's HHC thumb drive has a copy of the archive I will be happy.

00071-90104 HP-71 IDS for use with the 2CCCC version Vol.II
00071-90105 HP-71 IDS for use with the 2CCCC version Vol.III

If these documents are somewhere in a collection, it would be great to scan and include them in Eric's library.

Why do we need these feats with manuals? Any normal user will find the information he needs in any resource. I recently ran into the problem that no other calculators except hp-50g can not save different objects in the list when entering information on a program request. I no longer have any desire to share information in the manuals. Perhaps age and personal experience affect. The one who does not know is the one who speaks. The one who knows a lot - he is silent. :-)

It appears you know a lot about this topic, so perhaps it would be best for all to follow your own advice. If you don't feel it's interesting, and you have nothing to contribute to the document collection or even discussion about the collection, there's no need to criticize it, just move along to a topic that you do like and contribute to that.
