Of course we don't have the money yet and don't know how much it will be,
but of course that is human nature to spend it (at least mentally) before we
have it.... So here's what I would like to see...
How about spending the money to produce a list archives CD. IMHO it would be
extremely valuable resource for people traveling who can not connect to the
web.... for mechanics want to do quick searches... for anyone wanting do
quicker searches than possible with the archives.
