Thanks...they've improved a lot since I last posted about them to this list. :)
To be fair, the URL I posted was: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/brochure/images/manuals

However, my caution remains true: some of their pages take forever to download,
because they've got large numbers of BIG jpegs!

But...worth it! My favorite is
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/brochure/images/manuals/b5000/descrip/descrip.html

where the fist picture is the cover page of a manual with two handwritten notes:
        "Rare Manual"
and
        "Do not steal"

BTW, the pages on that link provide an excellent description of a truly advanced
machine!
