Hi Karl, yes and it is cool for me that I did not throw it away etc.
when I had a psychosis back in the '90s where I threw away my
original MIT booklet from PGP, written by Mr. Zimmermann.

When I was young I purchased or collected many books and
US magazines regarding computer technology. When Zeynep
recently posted that she purchased Bruce Schneier's book I
found this also awesome, which shows me that Zeynep is on
the right track being a Cypherpunk, because she has privacy
when reading a real book and not surfing the Internet to read
things about Crypto. To bad for the young smartphone generation,
hanging on the virtual needle, will forget later or do not know
how we old farts did certain things.

Do you remember when we were young, had local computer
clubs and shops, could exchange ideas privately or people
wrote public domain software, without this OpenSource
license crap?

Regarding privacy, our former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl
always used telephone booths, which were damaged or destroyed
later, when he did important telephone calls. How comes that
we no longer have telephone booths where we can put 20 cents
in for a call ... ???

Regarding scanning, theoretically, I could do this, but then the
book would be damaged, which I do not like to do, even if one
would pay me for that and it would be an educational resource
for the community. Sounds egoistically, I know, and I am sorry
about that.

Regards
Stefan
