Articles

A large collection of articles scanned in from various computer magazines. They deal with a wide range of subjects. Most of the pages are about 500,000 bits or more, so they load slow. The pages were scanned at 200 dpi or better to assure that they would print out well. It also means that they are to large to fit on a screen. When we tried to reduce them to screen size, they were not easy to read. So window around the pages, make sure they are what you want; they you can download them or print them from the site.  

It is going to take sometime to develop an good menu for this section---so be patient. For now we will do something like the How2's. We will either have to add a search button or some type of an indexing arrangement.
