[VA] New update #011 available in my HP site (11 new files 11)

[Garth Wilson]

I just downloaded a few more, on the HP-71.

I would second what mfleming says above though. It's kind of like advertising. You may have to keep the site and its contents before the eyes of the "customer" for quite a while before he "buys." The way to do that is to keep posting links to your articles and other resources when those links are relevant to what's being discussed on forum. That apparently also increases your pages' ranks in search engines. But even if there's no acceleration of the download rate, that's still a thousand in about two years. If each download represented one person, after a few years, gathering those people would fill a very large auditorium. I don't think that's a waste of time.

However, some of this stuff we do for the love of it, and for the promotion of our interest. I don't have the CCD ROM (although I have other ROMs that apparently got many of the CCD's ingredients), but I hear it had a marvelous 500-page manual that was a work of love, a job which never would have been taken up by HP which is there for the profits. (Hopefully I'm thinking of the right manual.)
