Hey Ed, here's a suggestion until some web space pops up-

As an old physicist and control engineer I'd like to get a copy of what 
you've got here.  Any chance you could drop it all on a CD and say offer it 
up for, oh, 5 bucks a copy?  Got a grand-kid or nephew or niece that's into 
computers?  Do like I do and give them a job like this, let's 'em earn a 
bit of cash.

I'm not a Power Point user even though it's loaded on my machine.  I think 
I recall that you can put the slide show up in a stand alone format so one 
does not need Power Point to see the slides.  Can someone else verify this?

I realize all of what we are doing development wise is a moving target and 
info gets revised in short order.  You however have a established a good 
foundation for manifold development for the rotary and for a few or more of 
us geeks it would be nice to have in the arsenal..er..library.

Give it some thought, I've got my checkbook and a stamp handy.
