Default Did the Project 928 thread get deleted?

I went to respond to the "My Project 928 book on ebay" thread re hosting and images and can't find it or any note that it was deleted. I guess you need to contact me directly re hosting or editing at jim928"at"ptd.net.

John D. deleted it - at the request of the topic-starter. No idea why.

Thanks for letting us know Randy.

BTW, I've got the first 30 pages thru OCR and it's cut the file down about 40MB already so I may be able to get it to a managable size. I'll keep you posted.

Gotta love EBay. As soon as I get my hands on one, I'll start scanning. Of course, only available to those that need the pdf as a "backup" to their printed version

Curt,
Don't, it's already in progress. I've got an image pdf that's decent and I'm running thru OCR now to get the file size down. A number of folks have said they'd host it for download. Current is large so there are some bandwidth concerns (150Mb). I'm hoping that the text version will not only be more legible but also considerably smaller.

Yes, the english version. For those of you who have offered to host for download, give me a week and let's see if I can finish the OCR to get the file size down. Not too bad now (60 pages of 144 done) as the pages become easier and I go up the learning curve on my OCR software.
