[sdiy] - Service Manual Project -

[Robert Weigel]

 This is why currently it makes more sense I believe to just have a
pointer page with maybe one or two personally supported manuals which is
what I did last year. sounddoctorin.info unfortunately may have to get
another space host though since I'm having slow access on average so far
on 007ihost.com.  Yup...same problem today.  Times out on my first
effort. WHY WHY WHY when it has like 96% approval rating do I wind up
with this problem?  Crud.  But the concept is already in place with scads
of other technical helps in a nice organized *normally* quick downloading
format :-) .  We'll get it back in form one way or another when I get
back. -Bob
