He is also just an absolutely delightful person to hang out with. Textfiles was one of the first websites I ever visited and getting to do this was a meet your heroes thing that actually went very nicely.
That's a crazy amount of time, with a nice amount of manuals now publicly available, about ~3.5 manuals PER DAY, for a decade! Few people are as dedicated as Jason Scott when it comes to making sure information stays free and available, thank you a lot for what you, Archive Team and Internet Archive is doing for all of us!
Really doing great work preserving stuff that would otherwise be lost to time.
Why are we even doing this? This is just humanity giving free extra training to its future robot overlords. /s
Amazing work.
His podcast, _Jason Scott Talks His Way Out of It_, is an entertaining, informative and (often) touching listen, too.
I love his podcast, and was able to back it for about a year.
What appliances? Or was it textbooks, or what?
