Thanks, Billy - the printer will be busy this weekend!!! Gordie, I've still got my saber. Didn't turn it into no plowshare neither.................................... Gordie, at the risk of telling my Grandpa how to suck eggs, there really is no need to print out each and every page-unless you have some antipathy to trees that is. On the links I have given, without even opening the files, you can copy the files to your PC. If using Firefox, right click on the links and select the option, "Save the link as". Clicking that will open up a dialogs window entitled "Save As" which will request that you tell the PC where to store the file. Using Internet Explorer ver. 7 is the same way. I seem to recollect that other versions of IE had slightly different verbiage but the results were the same. If you have already opened the file, Adobe Reader has an option to "Save a copy of" the file you are reading. Remember, anything that you read from a web page has already been downloaded to your computer. And in this case, after opening and saving the files to a location on your PC, you really need to clean your browser's cache. The instructions on how to do that are on the High Backbone/Hump thread, p. 5, msg. 62. Be good, Billy

Billy:
I had seen that hint on the High Backbone thread, and have just finished using it. Thanks to you and crzhrs for that. I do save things to my harddrive, but I'm an old-fashioned back it up on paper guy. I'll likely just buy the book instead [the chronological list of engagements, which I had about forty years ago but lost somewhere along the way].
Gordie, someone hollered out "attack" and there I stood, with an arrow in my back................................

I just wanted to tell you that it is just this sort of thing that makes me LOVE this message board! There is a wonderful amount of information sharing here. I'm just glad the price of external hard drives keeps falling; I can easily imagine me filling one with the PDFs I'm collecting.

The New York Times from 1851- 1980 can be searched free online at: www.nytimes.com/ A couple of notes. First, if using MS-IE 7, after clicking the first document link, it is better to open the PDF document by right-clicking and selecting Open As A New Window. The resulting PDF file may be saved to your hard drive by selecting the icon which looks like an old floppy disk on the tool bar. Second, on some of the PDFs, it appears that half the article is gone (the left side of multi-columned articles). That can be rectified by scrolling downwards and the start of the article will appear. Billy
