Gee, he could have saved money on the Oregon ones if he had visited my
website.  I've got most of Western Oregon, and there is an easy link to a
site where the whole state is covered.

A 5 minute browsing session also shows them for:

The Bay area:
        http://bard.wr.usgs.gov/htmldir/drg_html/index.html

978 quads for NY State via CUGIR:
        http://cugir.mannlib.cornell.edu/


Granted, I really need to update my links pages, but it's not all that
hard to find this stuff online.

So as a publicity stunt, it's great.  It calls attention to a problem.
But as a practical solution?  I would have used that $1600 for something
else.

And the important questions about this data is left unanswered:  is he
posting them with collars or no collars?  world files or not?  tiffs or
MrSID?

A centralized place for all the 7.5' DRGs would be cool:  so that's a
worthwhile venture.  However, I'm dubious that it doesn't exist.  Can
someone prove him wrong?

Or maybe here's a better challenge:  can this list come up with links to
all 49-states' DRGs?  (I don't think Alaska full 24k coverage, right?)  I
hereby volunteer to receive the emails and put up a page that links to all
the sites.

Here's Oregon:
        http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/IRMD/GEO/alphalist.shtml#D
        TIFFs, worldfiles, no collars, arranged by Ohio Code.
