Thanx for the kind words, Diane.
It's something I've felt both had a good use now, and in the future. who knows, eh?
I just did a quick inventory of the online book section. There are roughly:
420 books,
and their 240 illustrations,
in that section. It is roughly 90 megabytes. which, if you take roughly 4,000 bytes as the size of the avg. type-written page, yields some, 22,500 pages of text.
For something fun, Mark Twain wrote something called
Adam's Diary, and theres always Ambrose Bierce's
Devil's Dictionary.
