Well, I said earlier that I had an announcement and here it is.
I've spent alot of time so far and have this project almost completely done. I have taken my buddy Scott Simpson's service manual and scanned it all in to PDF format. Basically, when I'm done you will be able to have the entire manual, including the Power Master recall, all on CD.
I should have everything done within the next week. Right now I'm running the scanned pages through a filter to make them all text searchable.
During this process I noticed that running this filter on the PDF's caused one of the Buick logos to get cut out. It's there in the original, but not after running the filter. So what I am planning on doing is including the original PDF scans, along with the text searchable ones incase a certain picture you want to look at has been altered by the filter.
The CD will have a HTML based intro to let you easily skip to whichever section of the manual you want to see.
I will offer this CD up for sale. Not to make any money myself. But enough to cover my cost of CD's, packaging, shipping, etc...
I will also put the ISO image up on my website just to prove I am not trying to make any cash off of it. So, if you are computer savvy enough, you can get the whole thing for free!
Lemme see who is interested so I can decide if I'm gonna go thru the rest of the trouble to get this thing done.
