Also, if you are dealing with somebody so childish that they would destroy their manuals just because somebody has set up in competition to them (which after all is all a free download service is), then when the inevitable happens and they do go bankrupt (with or without the stuff from Manuals Plus going on line) do you really think they will hand their stock over to hobbyists (who they might feel contributed to their downfall anyway)? -tony
