Hi Everyone, As most of you know, I have (in the past) included a link in my signature, so that interested people can download a free service manual. As of this time, I am going to remove that link for the two following reasons:
1. Providing such a link, and providing aid to someone so that they can violate copyright laws is wrong.
2. The link which provided access to copyrighted material (Service Manuals) also inadvertently downloaded all kinds of garbage software, SPYware, and other media on to the computers of those who were only seeking a service manual. While antivirus programs help stop viruses and spyware, it is not effective when a user literally tells their computer that they want to download a program (which is what happens when you do these downloads).

From this point on, I will recommend to members of this forum that they pay the very moderate fees to download a legitimate copy of a Service Manual they are seeking. Likewise, I encourage everyone else to do the same.
Thanks for your understanding! 🙂
