Hi Andy,
How is everything?
Lets start with the big questions :-)
Working currently on an easily installable "wizzy server" that does
email in an occasionally-connected location.
Mostly via dialup these days, but I hope via USB
memory stick.

demo
slot).
Looking at the dates, no :-(

of Wikipedia.

relevant content
which would be of use
even to people
in Africa?
I carry wikipedia around on an external hard drive, for installation
at schools.
Capacity quickly wizzed through a DVD last year ..
I have been deleting my 2004 copies (which would fit your criteria) -
maybe I
shouldn't.
However, old dumps are fine (just as good as
today's dumps, I didn't
read the old one yet).
I think the 'bad content' (and 2 CD) criteria could be easily
satisfied
with a text-only recent dump.
Text-only carries everything, but lacks pizazz (and porn).
But that is what I recommend. Any others should be sent to Kim directly.
Cheers, Andy!
Not sure exactly where this mail comes from (/me perplex)... but
text-only encyclopedia, though safer, is a bit restricted :-(
I actually would prefer we set up a system with taggued pages than to
strip all images :-( but well... it takes less room
What is a "wizzy" server ?
