I think they've shot themselves in the foot by doing this. Especially since you'd be forced to donate to that particular "museum".

Agreed. Had they instead made the CDs available as well as having the content available online, I would have been more inclined to want to send my $10 along.
It makes Saint here look like a, uh, saint... two printings of his book, and BYOAC is still here and the content is still available. I've purchased several items through Saint's Amazon click-through so that he gets something back for his efforts. Were Clay and the museum to have done something similar I would've been happy to help them out.
Hate to say it, but it really does reinforce the (unfortunate) poor impression I have of "pin-heads". From "the guy that buys everything that comes up for sale within 100km, then flips it w/o shopping it for double/triple what he paid for it", to the various clique-y pinball groups/clubs I've run across that won't even talk to you or let you come out and see what their meetings are like without first forking over the $30-40 annual fee.

I figured something out.
Copy the Pinrepair URL into the wayback machine at http://www.archive.org and you can still access the free versions!

The Wayback Machine is awesome. Thanks for the tip.
Mr. Peabody and Sherman strike again!

All of the "index" pages still state, "updates are available online at no charge".
