100.000 books for free

Michael Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg, invented eBooks in 1971.

In 1971 Micheal was given $100.000.000 dollars by University of Illinois to "spend" time on the internet. He thought that odd because it was also money he was "spending", so he began the dilemma "do I use it or use it?".

He chose to use that money, but had no idea how to use it wisely.

I don't write well so read this....

"Project Gutenberg began in 1971 when Michael Hart was given an operator's account with $100,000,000 of computer time in it by the operators of the Xerox Sigma V mainframe at the Materials Research Lab at the University of Illinois.

This was totally serendipitous, as it turned out that two of a four operator crew happened to be the best friend of Michael's and the best friend of his brother. Michael just happened "to be at the right place at the right time" at the time there was more computer time than people knew what to do with, and those operators were encouraged to do whatever they wanted with that fortune in "spare time" in the hopes they would learn more for their job proficiency.

At any rate, Michael decided there was nothing he could do, in the way of "normal computing," that would repay the huge value of the computer time he had been given ... so he had to create $100,000,000 worth of value in some other manner. An hour and 47 minutes later, he announced that the greatest value created by computers would not be computing, but would be the storage, retrieval, and searching of what was stored in our libraries.

He then proceeded to type in the "Declaration of Independence" and tried to send it to everyone on the networks (LOL, that was one of the first spam viruses) ... which can only be described today as a not so narrow miss at creating an early version of what was later called the "Internet Virus."

A friendly dissuasion from this yielded the first posting of a document in electronic text, and Project Gutenberg was born as Michael stated that he had "earned" the $100,000,000 because a copy of the Declaration of Independence would eventually be an electronic fixture in the computer libraries of 100,000,000 of the computer users of the future. "

Anyway, more on that [here] and then we come to the reason of my post.

Right here you can have over one hundred thousand ebooks for free [100,000 + Free books]

And [here] you can have a copy of "Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted, or what's in a dream
by Gustavus Hindman Miller"

10,000 dreams is the standard for dream evaluation, but not the score. It is accurate only as accurate your mind is in tune with his but I have bought over twenty copies of this book to give away and share. It is a gem.
