Tim,

Could you teach the search engine to search 

http://www.r-390a.net/ ?

I have no intention of editing on the Y2K manual but some things come up on 
the Christmas wish list this year. And some Fellows thought it would be nice if 
the answer to the wishes were shared in the spirit of the season. So it was 
though that as some wish grants were made that Al's web page would be at least 
one place where the fulfilled wishes could be shared.

Already we see there are things hanging on Al's pages we have forgotten. Last 
week several documents come up on the wish list. The solution is not to cram 
everything into the Y2K manual. But we could try and cram it on or link it on 
a set of web pages. 

I agree that being able to search a web page for bits would be helpful. 

As we tried to add new pearls to the pages, I though we should keep the new 
stuff as searchable text. While Qth may not let crawlers in, I though Al's 
pages were searchable from the crawler. Again you have to know what to ask for 
before a search engine will give you a usable answer. 

I was really hoping for lots of photos or links to photos. So many of the 
Fellows have done very nice modifications and some pictures of the work should be 
shared. I find the photos inspirational. I am wishing for a 2006 resolution 
from Al to work diligently at updating http://www.r-390a.net/.

Roger.
