The Calculating Technician is out of print. I understand that no further
prints are planned since the material assumes, for the most part, the use of
obsolete electronic calculators.

For someone who might be so inclined, there appears to be a real opportunity
to benefit the profession by updating the material with a better
"understanding about scale design" and to use computer spread sheets. Hint,
hint.

Well, I'm certainly going gray while this project is going on.  :)

The Journal CD set still has not gone to production. I haven't heard anyone
who has actually seen the betas of these CD's argue that we should go ahead
with publication as is.

We intend for the CD's to work properly and to include all the advertised
material. Easier said than done.
