   I certainly don't see much point to it any longer.   You can't download   
   80 Micro magazines any longer, as far as I could see the last time I   
   checked.   The software downloads are absurdly complicated.   One file   
   at a time!?!?!   The whole thing should be available as a single big ZIP   
   file, so others can preserve it as well.   
      
   Fortunately for me, I grabbed the entire contents of his site a few   
   years ago, using a "site grabber" utility.    Then I burned it to CDs.   
   I also downloaded all of the 80 Micro PDFs he had available, but I have   
   a complete collection of the real things anyways.   
      
   I wouldn't send him a piece of bread if he was starving.   He is doing   
   nothing for the TRS-80 community, except for "see all the cool stuff I   
   have that you don't - and I won't share it with you because I'm a jerk!"
