Journal on Disk

[Don]

Hi Del,

Shame! You would deny the resource of the Journal to us? The cd will only
make things easier to search for. Anyone who *wanted* to before could still
steal the materials. 

I really think that the journal in the past has almost been useless the
index is always out of date. To be able to *really* search the whole of the
literature will be a boon to the *lonely* technician out in the field.

And yes my *chapter* has a library...the only problem is I live 440 miles
away from it.

Did you when designing your very fine pianos *not* use other peoples ideas?
I think not. So be kind and continue to be generous with your wonderful
knowledge.
