[AT] Machinery's Handbook downloadable 26th edition

[charlie hill]

Hi George,

Hope you are feeling much better by now.

I agree with you about that.  If I didn't have this cable modem I wouldn't 
even think about downloading it.  I have a copy but it is about 30 years 
old.  It'll be handy to have this copy on my computer.
