Hi gang. Please comment to me off list about this.<br><br>
The online search feature for Home Power wasn't as good as we would have
liked, though it was adequate for some uses. <br><br>
But now you can download ALL the back issues to your computers (at no
cost). Then if you have the paid version of Acrobat (Acrobat Pro), it can
completely catalog every word in every issue, and use some very advanced
search features.<br><br>
I have Acrobat Pro and do this and find it very useful. You could do the
same thing with SolarPro. Here are the download addresses:<br>
<a href="http://www.homepower.com/" eudora="autourl">www.homepower.com<br>
</a><a href="http://www.solarprofessional.com/" eudora="autourl">
www.solarprofessional.com<br><br>
</a>For those of you without the full Acrobat version, I would consider
doing the catalog indexing and making all available, with indexes usable
in free Acrobat Reader. It would be fairly time-consuming and require a
lot of bandwidth for downloading (and uploading for me), but if enough of
you want it it would be worthwhile.<br><br>
Again, please give me your thoughts and desires off list.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Related question: I always
considered the <i>Home Power</i> and <i>SolarPro </i>article search
features to be really valuable parts of their websites, but neither of
these appear to be still available. I believe the <i>HP</i> article
archive DVD supports keyword searches (via Acrobat or other PDF viewer),
but I am looking for more of an online-based option. Is anyone aware of
any other efforts to catalog the articles and/or develop a searchable
keyword database?<br>

<dd>Like myself, I imagine many folks on this list were avid readers of
"Home Power" and "SolarPro" magazines. I know some of
you were even active contributors to these two wonderful
publications.<br>
<dd>Is anyone aware of any similar resources - geared toward system
designers/installers/technicians (or just general enthusiasts)? Besides
this list, where are Wrenches turning to nowadays for relevant discussion
of current industry topics?<br>
