[Rhodes22-list] PDF FAQ

[Bill Effros]

Gregg,

You're on!

Thanks.

Michael tried to do this probably 6 years ago, but the technology had 
not caught up to the concept, and we were restricted in what we could do 
by Sailnet.

When Michael offered to host the list, it freed us to do many more things.

The current flexibility of PDFs and Michael's ability to host them 
should allow us to make the information truly portable (I know, PDF) 
which is what we have always wanted to do.  Anyone will be able to 
download and print out any of these sections.  That should be a real 
benefit.

Also, if Michael ever tires of hosting our list, which he has always 
done for free, we will have options, and we will have downloads of all 
of the materials.  A good deal for all.

I'm sure others will jump in, because we've been talking about this for 
years.

Thanks, again,

Bill Effros
