Since I have the same email address delivered to my iPhone and iPad, the file was emailed to those devices. From there, I had the option to transfer it to iBook or any PDF reader from the email. Word of caution, some email applications have a 5 MB file limitition - gmail does not. Other option would be to move to Dropbox, and open from there.

Have a great kick-off and a great season!

Go Bees!

FTP'd it to my phone over my home wifi, then S-Beamed it to my brother and dad.

was gonna download it to the schools server and just have everyone copy it to their computer, but ever since the latest power outage (thanks guy who cant control his car on ice) the schools wifi has been off and on since monday. i dont know if it will even be up Saturday...

(lucky for me it wont be hard, all i need is a flash drive)

I put the encrypted manual file onto a 5-1/4" floppy disk, so I'll have it with me when I go to the kickoff event and pick up the kit.

Or was that a thumb drive?

Anyways, it's on my phone and my laptop.

That's a mighty impressive compression algorithm! Or do you mean that you placed it on top of the disk?

Went there last year. It's a really cool tour.

A couple years ago, I got rid of about half of my old computers, I have fewer than 50 now. The oldest was a The Digital Group Z80 machine.

Is that one of IBM's Model M "clicky keyboards"? The one I use at work is older than some of my co-workers

[MrForbes]

It's an early 1990s PS/2 Model M Space Saver keyboard. I bought a couple when you could still find them new on ebay for $5. Should have bought them all...
