What an excellent initiative! I have downloaded the 104 files to my computer so henceforth I will be carrying around the first four books of the HoC with me all the time. This will not only save me a few trips to the Library but will also allow me to make local searches simultaneously in these books and across all the other papers, books and images stored on my hard drive. I join the round of applause and also the hope that volume 3 will be uploaded soon. Luis A.
