Doesn't that take quite a bit of time to scan in all those pages
or have you found a quick way to do it?  I've been scanning
some public domain sheet music recently and it seems like it
takes forever and I'm just doing some of the songs.

Is there any possibility of copying the material to CD and
making CD copies available for people who already own the issues?
Would love to have electronic copies of some of my older
magazines as they're starting to bother my allergies when I come
in contact with them.  

Maybe you could make a CD version available to other owners of
the material and charge shipping and media costs?

On another topic, I love reading all the suggestions for hosting
providers that have been posted recently.  If anyone has any suggestions
for low cost solutions (around $5 a month), I'd love to hear about them.
My current hosting provider does a wonderful job, but the bandwidth and
space allowed is very low.  I haven't gotten to the point where I've gone
past my limits yet and probably don't need a ton of space or bandwidth,
but it would be nice to know of some alternatives as I find more stuff to
add to my site.

Thanks.
