Heinlein Archives Put Online
RaymondRuptime writes "Good news for fans of the late SF master Robert Heinlein, 2 months after his 100th birthday celebration. Per the San Jose Mercury News, 'The entire contents of the Robert A. and Virginia Heinlein Archive — housed in the UC-Santa Cruz Library's Special Collections since 1968 — have been scanned in an effort to preserve the contents digitally while making the collection easily available to both academics and the general public... The first collection released includes 106,000 pages, consisting of Heinlein's complete manuscripts — including files of all his published works, notes, research, early drafts and edits of manuscripts.' You can skip the brief article and go straight to the archives."
Or was permission to publish just a Grumble from the Grave?
In other news, Playboy Magazine recently launched Playboy.com, which allows the worlds premier men's magazine to be made available online! You can skip the brief article, and go straight to the archives [NSFW].

Electronic commerce! Sigh, I am only an EGG
'Only a Barbarian believes that his tribes customs are the laws of nature'
The last entry in the archive seems to indicate that he was preparing a new book: "Once upon a time a very large meteorite was heading directly for SCO. It was like a million miles across and filling the sky. Even then Darl didn't notice as he was too bust trying to kick the company server back to life ..."
It ends there but there's a footnote:
"This will undoubtably destory my Santa Cruz Library archive too but it's a price worth paying".
It's amazing how he could predict the future with such accuracy. Then, mysteriously he died. RIP RH.
Yes, yes, YES!
I am not a crackpot.
Please turn in your /. account on the way out the door. Thank you.
For the ultimate in neurosis and failure try Dostoyevski and Kafka. Holy shit. After that, I'll read anything. Supermarket porn. Crichton. Just make me happy again.
