Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Status: RO Thanks to GDMR, the web page is now available as http://history.dcs.ed.ac.uk/ This will be the permanent address from now, on. Let's forget the other one ever existed. (That'll give me the option of moving it to another machine sometime. It's still actually housed at the same place but that machine didn't have enough capacity for the archive. I plan to build a new dedicated machine for that, with an 80Gb drive and a CD burner.) Although no-one has posted to the list here, we *have* received several very helpful emails from people who have copies of old software or listings. I will summarize and post them here after work tonight. (Remember I'm 6hrs earlier in the day than most of you - Texas time) This project is clearly going to work. I am very relieved, I thought it was going to be difficult getting it started but everyone is very enthusiastic! I have identified one immediate need for volunteers - a lot of what has been found is on paper. It is clearly going to be way too much for the one volunteer scanner we already have (IAY). It would be really good if we could drum up some interest from a number of students to share the work of scanning old documents. 5 to 10 people in a pool would be a great help. (I suggest that sort of number because we know that some people will lose interest or be too busy etc - we need enough extra capacity to ensure there's always 3 or 4 people available at any time) If someone in Edinburgh could ask around the CS students, that would be appreciated. All they need is access to a scanner. Graham To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: edinburgh-computer-history-unsubscribe@egroups.com
