Vong Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 So, I'm getting ready to move and as I pack things up, I'm coming across some old (older?) stuff.... Here is what the printed A:M Manual to v8.0 (circa 2000) looked like. And here's how thick it was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 5, 2015 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 5, 2015 It looks well-used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted June 5, 2015 Admin Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ah, the good olden day. Thanks for stirring up memories Curtis. Here's what the inside of that ancient tomb should look like: ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/updates/windows/Am98/am98manual.pdf (Right Click and Save As) It should be worth noting that a good part of the old manual made its way into the Technical Reference that is still with us today.

Vong Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Rob, it was! :-) Rodney, you're welcome! I've got more stuff that I'll be posting shortly... As I'm going through and packing things up, I'm hanging on to all my A:M stuff, but sending the Maya books to the be recycled or donated. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelplucker Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 does the big crease in the spine line up with the rigging section? Book looks about as thick as TAOAM book and the reference manual combine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted June 6, 2015 Admin Share Posted June 6, 2015 Book looks about as thick as TAOAM book and the reference manual combine. It only looks that way because it is. ToaA:M updated the tutorials found in the old manual. The Tech Ref updated the technical references. I toyed with the idea of creating a new master tomb that added Holmes Byrant's tutorials and such... even did some preliminary work... but when I got to that 'work' part... quickly lost interest. One of the issues is that of consistent formatting throughout which of a necessity would require a whole lot of reformatting. Perhaps when the active subscriber base rises sufficiently we can launch a kickstarter to get something like that done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
