I think that is a wonderful idea, especially since searching the
archives via dial-up is SOOOOO slow. I have broadband at work but on the
road or at home it is dial-up and usually I only get 34k anyway.

Subject: Vanagon Archives, the DVD Edition?

I've been meaning to throw this idea in the ring for a while. given the
fact that the archives are a regularly used source for maintaining and
knowing "everything" there is to know about our beloved bricks, why not
store it offline on a couple of DVDs? I reckon at 4GB capacity most of
the content will fit in two DVDs. All we would have to figure out is how
to include the front-end searching capability. You could then pull over
in the middle of nowhere, flip open your laptop and voila! vanagon
archives on demand.

Just a though, what do y'all think?
