I sincerly think that this will never happend. It does not seem to be
in Bernies genes to consider such solutions.

Bernie will consider the risk of the Pandora box and that would give a
definite no.

Either you get the Electronotes from Bernie in paper copies or you
find yourself alternative sources of similar material. I think we
could bring together alot of usefull stuff if we only took some
organizing.

I don't think it is worth spending cycles on the Electronotes
track. If someone with a big lump of money would buy the total rights
of Bernie and then offer the whole material for free, maybe then, but
how likely is that to happend I ask? I don't have that kind of money.

Cheers,
Magnus
