Just realized that you were talking about CD or DVD.... Genealogy class I attended last week said that DVDs will last much longer than CDs which only last about 10 years... so they told us.... it is something to consider. lh ----- Original Message ----- From: <rowesof4@bellsouth.net> To: <TNSMITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 5:11 PM Subject: Re: [TNSMITH] census cd vs. dvd > I haven't seen the Smith Co DVD set but I have purchased the DVD set for > Walton Co, GA and they are wonderful.

The images on the DVD's are of a higher resolution (quality) than the ones on the website. This makes the images clearer and easier to view. This is especially helpful if you are wanting to print the records or for those that are hard to read. If you visit the website for the SK Publications, they show examples of the images. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Hopson" <lizy@airmail.net> To: <TNSMITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 6:30 PM Subject: Re: [TNSMITH] census cd vs. dvd > Just realized that you were talking about CD or DVD....
