Well, goodness gracious me. I'm down about 50 bucks. Now...how could that have happened?  As the hip kids say: MOAR! ;D |

I feel it's important to note that I don't actually need these pdfs. I also know it's highly unlikely I'll ever read them in pdf format.
The reason I bought them all...all...is because I viewed it as a way to support the cause. Not just T&T/FBI, but the cause to the continued existence, both in terms of availability and, safe on a hard drive, disk, thumb drive or three...there they will never soil, decay, be spilled on, torn, creased, smudged and of course, will never turn to dust.
Basically, I voted with my wallet to say: I like it! I love it! I want some more of it!

That is exactly my stance about it too, machfront.

You OCR'd every one of those??? That's a lot of work!  I notice you have a lot of the older non-color-cover versions too. |

Yep all OCR'd and when I say cleaned I mean that I used the GIMP on every page to make sure there were no stains of defects. In the GIMP I do select by color with 45.0 threshold then dump white (or whatever background color it is), is the paint brush to clean up anything that misses and the use "Unsharpen Mask" to sharpen everything on the page. Best case it takes about 1 min per page to clean, but it comes out looking great. By far the Sorcerer's Apprentice was the most work but the effort on those and these is well worth it.
Of the early Solo's I have none of the "Color Covers" except Overkill. In any case I feel my work on this is done now I'll move on to trying to make some of my own creations ready for release not sure I can match up to the great effort that so many here have put forth but I'll give it a try. The first thing I'll work on is O'Henry's House of Horror [OHOH] which was my DED or BtSP alike, but it's run by a 10th Level Leprechaun which is one of my own Characters so everything he built is something with in his power to create and maintain.

Looking forward to it. I already lost some characters to Hogscape's Dark Isles solo. I'm ready to lose some more.  |

Now, see... here I was sweating over this OCR thing a while back and giving it some abortive and rather embarrassing attempts. Remember what I said? I said that someone with much more skill than I would be needed... A month or so later my prayers are answered and mgtremaine graces us with his presence and mad skillz. ;D
How often does that happen? It's like it's too good to be true.
I strongly suspect a large safe with it's still-attached rope will fall from the sky on my noggin any day now.
Probably when I'm in the bathroom.

You should start a thread about how everyone on the Bridge wins a million dollars. :-P

Scissor blades extend towards straining rope [hand remains off screen]. What's really strange is that, around the time you posted this, I was...indisposed.  |

FBI has sold/given the rights to republish it's T&T resources to other 3rd parties. Who would that be ?  |
