just go to the main page of this website. [click those "e60.doit.wisc.edu" on the top left of your screen] to go there. The manual you want is on the second line.

hope this help.

Ouch! $300 a month, or $2500 US annually? Wow, must be some magic/secret spells hidden in that site!

Indeed, I wanted to get a subscription too, until I saw the price of it. Maybe we can do a group buy? If everyone donates a couple of dollars we might be able to get one account and share it?

maybe we could start a paypal account or something. Then we could group together and get an acount. I think it would work. The admins can collect the money signup the account and give people who donted a certian amount password. What do you think?

I downloaded some TIS CD's from eMule but after installing them I found them very unuseful. Maybe I was doing something wrong but I was unable to retrieve any useful data about the E60.
