Sure! The more the merrier. I'm starting out small, I only have about 9GB of
disk space on a Linux box to host everything. I'm hoping to get a cheap,
gigantic IDE hard drive soon to complement it. PCX is a yucky format to
store documentation in, I'm scanning all my stuff in as PDF's or compressed
TIFFs, I'd like to stay away from GIFs because of all the legal weirdness
going on with Unisys. I'm going to work on it this weekend, and hopefully I
will have something up monday or tuesday. I'll let the list know...
