Default How to Copy Clark's Garage

With the sad and unfortunate news of Clark Fletcher passing a few months ago has probably left us wondering how much longer Clark's Garage website would be around. I know a few people here provided a downloadable zip file which didn't work for me and I believe someone here is also hosting a mirror copy also. I wanted to have my own copy of Clark's Garage so I try to download all the files individually but I quickly gave up. But here's a utility that copy's an entire website and allows you to have a mirror copy of the website on your hard drive:

https://www.httrack.com/page/2/

After I downloaded the utility it took about an hour to copy Clark's Garage website. After it was finished I shut down the computer, unplug the internet cable, restarted the computer, click on the httrack icon, and then open Clark's Garage. It worked just as if I was on his website. If you need help installing the utility:

Anyhow I hope it works for you. But please don't ask me for any computer help. When it comes to computers I'm as dumb as a door ****. It's a miracle I was able to do this.

I saved them all as PDF's, printed them off and put them into a 3 ring binder. Not the best solution but I prefer paper manuals over electronic ones in the garage. Took some time but was worth it to me.

Wow, that's a lot of work! Or should I say a "Royal pain"

I just saved the pdf's and print them out when I need them. There are less greasy fingerprints that way.
