[time-nuts] manuals, anyone?

[lists at lazygranch.com]

I think a simple solution is anyone that gets a free manual has to scan it and upload it to BAMA or some other free manual website. 

It is unrealistic to expect one person to scan filing cabinets worth of manuals, but to spread the task around makes sense.
