MG MGA - MGAguru hard at work!

We all know what a great site the MGAguru is but do you all realise how hard Barney works at updating it. Click on the green "What's new here?" link on http://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/ and see what has been added/updated in Dec 2010 alone - must be over 50 pages!

Reflects the amount of snow on the ground in Naperville!

Shucks, it only goes up to December 19th just now. The indexing spiders hit it every 7 days, so I'm sure it has to be updated tonight. Give it a few more hours and check again when the update list should be current. It only lists the most recent 100 document changes, which might be 3 or 4 weeks depending on what I'm up to.

Mind you it's not all new. Some of it is as simple as spelling corrections, link changes on page buttons, or adding line items in the index pages. Other will be adding pictures or addendum notes. For the past several years I have been averaging about 100 new pages per year, but the updates list shows nearly 10 times that many page changes. My 10-volume printout is overstuffed again. I think it will soon graduate to 12 books.

Barney, maybe there is a few dollars in for you making an ebook version!

Barney,
Or Maybe an APP for the Iphone, Itough, IPad, etc..
Maybe you could even put it on the App Store so the MGA world would have an "APP for that".

JP,
That would be APPropriate.

Regarding an APP for Iphone, etc, I think we'd need to get the current generation a whole lot more interested in MG's before it would be a hit. Still, if it were available an old fart like me mite consider updating to a new "phone" before I hit the road for Reno!

Last call for 2010. Santa brought me binders for Christmas.

Scroll to bottom of page and poke the new picture.

I had overstuffed books and wanted to split 10 volumes into 12 (sort of like a stock split). It didn't work out well, so it ended up being 13, and a few books are still overstuffed.
Volume 4 is all electrical.
Volume 5 is all engine.
Volume 9 is all Restoration.
Volume 12 is all Twin Cam.

That doesn't count book 0 on the left end, an overstuffed inch that has most of what's not in the MG Tech section, or another inch of the Alaska trip (which is what started the web site), or about 4-inches of copies of Workshop Manuals, SPL's, and a variety of smaller technical booklets from days gone by, like the Twin Cam Technical Data Book. If I put all that in the line-up it would be about four feet, and my ink jet printer would be on the floor. Must be time for a wall shelf to free up some table space.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let's kick off another decade, better than the last one.
