YES, I agree.

I would like ETKA 6 too.  I have 5 and have been mailing it to those
that want it.
So far I have sent out 6 and it only cost me $4.00 in postage.
The CD's cost 22 cents.  Not a problem.

The kind of cable internet that can host these things would cost me
$100.00 a month.
I can run the server and all.

So if 12 people send me $100.00 a year I'll put it together and host a
web site.
Or any combination of users/$$$ that add up to the same.

The upload speed is only guaranteed to 384k-512k but is actually much
faster.
I can limit to one or two concurrent downloads and those with high
speed internet
can get the ETKA in a few minutes.

What does everyone think?

I'm at jhawk@hawkcomputing.com too.

So far I've received about 6 responses seeking a copy of ETKA. I'm
going to
burn two copies and send them to two folks with info so they can burn
two
copies and pass on ETKA to a couple more folks each. That will take
care of
the 6 responses I got. Hopefully this will lead to somebody hosting a
downloadable copy so anybody with a connection and patience enough can
download it whenever they want. It is about 250 MB.

If anyone comes up with ELSA or ETKA 6 I sure would like to have a
copy.
Same goes if there is something similar for Hondas, the other daily
driver
at my house.

With over 400 MB of free space on the disk it sure would be nice to
add
some additional tech info and create a whole disc for newbies and not
so
newbies to keep close to the computer. Anybody got any ideas?
Brochures?
Video? Library of tech files in searchable PDF format? Digi-catalogs
from
the favorite suppliers such as...???
