I just made a tally of the current PG size. It's about 2Gb zipped. That fits
on a 3CD set or a single DVD, with room for title/author/abstract full text
indexing. Now, wouldn't be a worthwhile project to write a PG browser/indexer,
so in a year or so we could have ISO/UDF images on-line that anyone could
download, burn, and as a result have access to a major part of the world's
literature on their system? Whatever that system is?
