wondering if there is still a demand for some of the old documentation... I was just going through another box I found, and have some documents, just wondering if anyone wants them scanned??

- old 800 number support card, along with the Bill Posner signed letterhead talking about the support center...

- quick start installation for worldgroup... its like a small brochure 4 pages on how to get it up and running quick... mentions changing the BootGUI=0 if you have windows95 so you can start direct in dos mode...

- wg2 configuring two channels to tcp/ip single card sheet...

- applications for your website... client/server app sheet.. shows some of the client screens like the white board and omnimall as seperate windows

- wg2 price sheet for july 1996... lol I paid those prices huh... can you believe they used to sell the 128-line "intelligent" serial kits for just $7385.00 but that was just 115200bps, the 230400bps was extra. (wow I just realize they had classroom training sessions for sale on here)

-logicom 1996 sales booklet... lists a hundred different add-ons from various ISV's with prices at the time... even shows pictures of the client/server apps... logicom got so much of my money.

ooo look at that logicom undercut gcomm by $1300 on that 128-line isk kit... I bet that upset someone.

- signed letter from don barr in 2001, is it too early to restore Don. :)

-complete sysop guide but I think I saw someone scanned this once already

-several books from 1995.. doubtful I would want to scan hundred page books but might ship them to someone who would if they return them one day?

Hey look I found my old Galactic Empire code on a scrap piece of paper... would be nice if this would work on an updated version hey...

Well, it'd be great if you can scan it all in and submit it. Of course, nobody in this scene really cares about consolidation, since this site and project had a wiki, but everyone else involved has a wiki or archive site too. So we have 10 people interested and nearly as many archive sites. Sigh.
