Hmm, not a bad idea.

To take it one step further and remove the requirement of shipping, burning, and, well, anything physical at all, how about a Bittorrent tracker of a .zip file? Say, one .zip per year to keep the size to something sane.

I'd be happy to seed it/them, I'll just turn the upload rate down a bit to keep the bandwidth use in check.

Probably been asked before, but I am not a regular, since my van is down for the count, so forgive me if its a terribly redundant question.

Has there ever been consideration of making the vanagon archives available on a DVD or two? Perhaps a charge to cover the cost, and add a bit more, as a donation to Gerry, or to compensate whomever does the legwork?

Could even make a few, and mail them around on request for copies, with appropriate donations, etc a part of the deal.

For the past year, a lot of us have been using gmail to archive all the posts. This would fill in the past pretty nicely.

Hope its not a hornet's nest to ask about such a thing :-)

John
