Hi Christopher (and others who are interested),

I have scanned the pages as Greyscale 100dpi jpeg, they are not very good 
scans due to the scanner I currently have connected being a '3in1' that is 
no good at any of the 3 functions. The text is legible so will be okay for 
scanning.

I have place in a temporary part of my magazine site so you and anybody else 
who is interested in it is welcome to download it, I will delete it when I 
next need some space so it should be there for a couple of weeks.

Download from:
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/themicrouser/temp/Evolution2.zip

Any problems just let me know, if the pages are too bad I can re-scan with a 
better scanner when I get a chance.

Looking forward to seeing the book in electronic format. Keep up the good 
work.

All the best.
