" Brenda, I and a few others have the Piano Technicians Journal Computerized Index which covers 1946 to the present (almost). This is the Index I have demonstrated in the Cybercafe at the past two conventions. PTG is not distributing this index, but I am glad to. The only two hitches are: 1) You will need to be able to unzip a file sent in .zip format. This is very easy. 2) You need MS Access97 or Access2000. Access97 comes with MS Office97 Pro, which is currently clearance priced at $89.95 at the following site: http://www.netfetch.com/microsoft_office_97pro.htm The format of this database file can be changed to work with other database programs, but I'll let someone else do that. It could even searched as a text file with a word processor, but this is considerably less useful. Ted Simmons also has a text file index of maybe the last 12? years. It is less comprehensive, but can still be useful. If you would just like for me to do a search for you, I'll be glad to do that and send you the results.
