[sdiy] Kevin Lightner

[Magnus Danielson]

Way back, in the early mist of dawn for the web, we where only a handful 
that had schematics up on our websites. Then they where many times the 
single and only source. There was one site which was a collection, but 
it contained also pictures etc.
Today there is loads of sites that is a collection of downloaded 
material that came from other places. Many times it's more about having 
most material, than the shape it is in, and the structure it has.
I had to adjust the scanning to optimize readability for filesize, a 
struggle we had back then.

Hosting the material is not a big issue, but I see this as Kevin's 
contribution.

Miss his modular with clown pictures.

Cheers,
Magnus
