That's a pretty good idea... maybe store machines, related hardware,
whether the user has manuals for the machine or not, other notes etc...

It's a shame though about the copyright situation; I try to store binary
images of everything that I can in the hope that I can recreate boot
disks etc. in the event of problems, but it would be nice to be able to
share those freely with others...

(I suppose the danger with this, as with anything on the 'net, is that
we end up with thousands of people all trying to do the same thing and
end up with the current situation of knowing that the information is
probably there *somewhere* but spending years finding it...)
