Eric
I have had my GMC for 38 years now and over the years I collected manuals and other information. I used to send out a dvd with this information to new members and others who requested it at no charge.
I sent one to Tom Lins free but he then copied it and charged GMcers for a copy. This disturbed me so I quit giving it away. I put all my information on the GMCMI site and GMCMI asked me if they could distribute it on a Thumb drive and I gave them permission.
I continue to collect new information and I give that to GMCMI but not to Tom Lins.
I have never charged anyone for the files.

Thanks Emery,Had I known that a year ago when I purchased my GMC, I would have paid Tom Lins for virtually the same, or less information.
