Nice progress there. I never thought you would actually do it.
BTW, have you actually looked back into your scanned collection for an article? Basically, is your massive article collection useful to you? If I were to do something like this I would think that I wouldn't even use it.

Excellent work.
I did a similar, albeit MUCH smaller personal project a couple years back. The irony now is here at work we got, about 6 months ago, a pair of color copiers that have automatic document feeders and that will scan to a PDF. There's a girl here scanning all of her husband's medical school notes... drops a stack in and hits start... 15 minutes later she's got a 200 page PDF.
IF only I'd procrastinated...
BTW, with newer versions of acrobat, you can batch OCR your files. I'd suggest trying a few first to see how it does - OCR can really do a craptastic job if you don't have a clean image to work from, but can sometimes really give a lot of bang for the buck.

You should be able to get that done this weekend.
Wow...
You know...I wonder if the publisher would offer you anything for taking the time to put them all in the computer like that?
I bet they dont even have those archives.
