Journal CD's

[David Love]

The guild office does offer a printed index that covers roughly the same
period.  I also find the search mode on the CD a bit slow sometimes.

I'm not impressed.  I put in the "New Acrobat Reader 5" CD, and that went
ok.  Then I put in Disk 1 of the journal.  Horrible grinding noise.  A menu
page of the journal came up, but grinding noise scared me.  Put in disk 2.
Grinding, but at very low level.

really want to read every copy.  I tried the search button.  I typed in
"dampers."  Nothing.  It seemed to be asking for a document or something.  I
thought the CD was the document.  Soooo ...
