Box shots and screen shots refer to the whole set and not each individual file, correct? I assume that is why you have defined a range. Thanks for that info.

Looks like a review, with archive, screen shots, box shots and manuals can be anywhere from 85 to 180.

The main problem is that we have not gave credits for documents extras. Easier part is to give it in future, but we must detect who had submited it formerly!
I will try to find former contributors!

Default PoE idea.

I don't know what the intentions are it terms of the future of this pieces of eight thing but does anyone else like the idea of using them to buy the right to download high bandwidth (large as in ISO) games?

It may be too complex to set up but the administration might take care of itself. If Abandonia were to host abandonware ISOs in the future they could charge, oh say, 50 pieces of eight for each ISO download. Similar in concept to the old Games Preservation Project and the necessary VIP status. That would motivate people to contribute to earn the PoE and would also control the bandwidth requirements of hosting ISOs.

They withhold your first payment for taxes. It's just another example of an oppressive government taking advantage of the poor working man.
