Edit: not the HP27S but the HP22S German Manual?

Al at bitsavers.org scans and catalogs huge quantities of doc. I have no idea how he does it. Your comment reminded me of my own deplorable situation with regard to cataloging documentation. I have fairly huge quantities spread across multiple machines in multiple countries. I have never been able to find enough time, or money, or whatever it was to straighten it out into one central location.

I have this problem just on a single PC, more often than I'd care to admit....

As we've all experienced the reality of seeing some interesting resource online somewhere, saying to ourselves "I will come back to get this when I need it, or maybe even bookmark it now, for later" and then later comes along and the resources is no longer available, for a variety of reasons. So, my way of coping is when I see a resource, I simply download it, if it's even slightly likely that I'll want it.

The problem, as you've alluded, is not only organizing stuff, but also recalling what has been grabbed already. I often think "I don't have that, I'll get it now" and then upon navigating to the "right" place to file it, I see I already have it.

The good news: I'm fairly consistent about where I put stuff

The bad news: I remember less often than I'd like which items I already have.

Keeping track of multiple machines in multiple countries... yeah, that won't happen... lol
