Please excuse the mass mailing. I think it's important to respond to Michael's comment. I'll write my plea tomorrow to be able to buy the Family History Library Catalog on CD for home use. I hope you will want to do the same. Cheers, Dolly Ziegler >---------Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 19:46:56 -0600 >From: Michael T. Ritchey <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: FHLC on CD for public sale Hello gang, Decision makers in the Family History Department have been lately discussing the merits and pitfalls of marketing the next FHLC (Windows CD version, w/author, title, keyword searching, etc.) to the public. If you've ever wanted a copy of the FHLC for your own computer, and can't afford to sit waiting while the online version loads each view, or want to use the CD in places where you can't connect your modem to a phone line (like in libraries), you'd better start making some noise now or forever hold your peace. Some of the FHD's administrators don't see the need to market the CD version. They think there's no demand, no need for a CD version for private use, now that the online version is up. Luckily, there are some at the FHD who would like to see the thing marketed. Those of you who were involved with the testing/hair-pulling with PAF 3 know, however, that sincere, knowledgeable, low-level church employees' recommendations are not always heeded by the administrators. They need your individual voices to back them up. If you want to help propel the CD-ROM based FHLC toward public release, <write>. Don't just tell them you want it; tell them <why>. Detail for them your personal situation -- why the CD version would help you more than the online or FHC-limited version. Or, if you don't want it, don't say anything, and you'll get your wish.
