Will Ed Yourdon pay for Diane's call to Phil?

Well, will he??????????????? Or does she have to pay for that out of her own cookie jar? I'm wondering if she bit off more than she can chew.

how pathetic that the only thing you find to wonder about is a phone bill.

It will be an honor to do so...

There are about half a dozen of us who have been trying to keep things more-or-less intact since the robot downloaders swamped the forum last night, and the lost sleep and jangled nerves are probably a lot more bothersome to Diane than the cost of a phone call.

Cool!

Hey, why don't you downloaders burn some copies for Ed and Diane, for history and all?

Even a partial from last night, overlapped with an older complete copy, might get them pretty darn close. At the very least it would be a good cross-reference for them to patch their retrieved files.

I'll second that. A zipped downloadable file would be a wonderful addition to my Y2k archives.

I read A&L's post that they got a complete copy if I remember correctly. Perhaps there is someone with a fat server and fat pipe where the file could be put so we could FTP into it. I think we're talking 500mb for both forums.
