[R-390] Re: Part II "What Hardware Do I Need For My 390A?"

Fellows,

I think Quig is on to it and some of the ideas that come up in the Christmas 
wish lists.

Every one who has been reading this reflector for a few years knows we have 
just about beat every horse at least once. Some we have even kicked once they 
were down.

The rub is the new guy is just as clue less as ever. Not his fault he is just 
younger than us and has not been educated. Being young is not wrong. Us old 
kids just got a head start in life. Having been there and done that does not 
make us better we just been there and done it.

Back in 84 when I completed my Master Degree in Computer Science the PC was 
two years old and Al Gore had not yet invented the Internet. We have all been 
20 years learning this new paradime shift.

So now we are thinking about searching web pages and getting things we all 
know out there where the new comers can find it also.

A lot of this is about putting things in text on web pages in a fashion that 
can be useful. 

The trick is to put search words on a page so the search engine can find the 
idea.
Place information on the page that answers the question being searched. 
Place links on the page that has all the gory PDF details in sleep inducing 
government text. Place information on the page to explain what you will get for 
down loading one of those big PDF files.

Enough Management 
This is 2005 and the occupation of the year is Internet Web Page Author.
Ask not what we need, Ask rather does this fill the need.
Page size must get past Yahoo mail box limits. The low limbo pole limit.
Pick your subject line for the mail post.
Pick your keywords for the search engine to find
Write some useful information

Put in the request to help fill in the missing parts.

Put that out here on the mail. Let the response come back.
Collect the stuff and rework your original stuff.
Then put that back out to read.

Once you get a good page together ask Al Tirevold to add the page to 
http://www.r390a.com

Then a search of the web for R390 and the keyword will bring everyone back 
the page with the information. We can all work on our web page generation skills 
with little effort as Al will take care of getting the pages linked (Thank 
You Al for helping us in several ways.) Plus we get good reviewed subjects onto 
the web. Plus we get good R390 knowledge shared again. Plus we get the stuff 
out where we can search for it in today's paradime.
