I'm by myself today. If I had 3 or 4 guys around to help maybe it wouldn't be a problem. I got the thing at the foot of the stairs. I thought I'd cover my stairs with 1" plywood with cleats to turn the stairs into a sort of ramp. Then I could use attach the end of a wire rope hoist to the catalog so that I could sort of slide it down the ramp in a controlled way. Sound feasible?

Ask for the 2 volume catalog next time and throw (I mean slide) the old one away.
Or maybe, once a day for a while, cut out a few of the pages you aren't likely to use anyway until the book gets light enough for 1/2" plywood and clothesline.

sounds doable. Just watch out for paper cuts.

I guess I haven't bought enough recently. Been a while since I got a new catalog. I find things paging though the catalog I'd never find on the web site or the CD. And web-site-wise, I'm afraid I have to give the edge to McMaster - MSC's web search functions are so bad that I can type in keywords for an item I know is in the catalog and the web site won't bring it up until I go track down a catalog number, or guess a PDF page to look at based on what else is on it.
No computer in the throne room.

Why not? What do you think old laptops are for?
if you run across a decent older laptop, 600 mhz or faster with a min of
128 meg ram and a 20gig or better harddrive..keep me in mind. Ive got a 250mhz Compaq Armada 170x that I use cause I have the cig lighter adapter etc for it..but its pretty slow for some things. I use it as a CNC machine tool upload/download box and wifi for emails etc on the road. Rugged is good.Gunner

No. You need to hire a professional rigger. When they keep the catalog from falling through the floor into the bedroom below, you'll know you made the right decision.
You are already on my list, Gunner! ;-)
When I take the local 'Veteran's News' website live, I will have a section listing all the spare parts and trading materials. It WILL NOT be linked to anything else on the site, and it's index page will only be given to those I trade with.
Mike, check with Gunner before you box up that computer and buy postage. You may be on his 'Spammer' list.

How can that be, when I haven't even registered the domain name it will be sent from? ;-)

I was thinking that a stanley knife and a 10 pack of blades would let you slit the spine to cut this thing into sections. Maybe then you will only need one helper to get the pieces down the stairs.

With spamers making up domain names, there is a good chance that they have used *all* possible domain names by now. :-)
I *know* that they have used mine -- heavily. :-(
Enjoy, DoN.
There is a VERY slim chance that its been used.
I was off line for a full year, a few years ago and someone used my Netscape email address to spam with, for months. I had to go to the library to check my email, and would use the entire hour deleting nasty messages from people who replied to that address.
