I use the CD's constantly. Have them all on one smokin hard drive. Creating customized workplans for various rebuilding steps, tasks, etc. I do print out articles from the CD's for reading on the plane as well. Saving them all in customized 3ring binders, sorted by topics: Stringing, Agraffes, Bridgework, etc. These CD's are worth GOLD! It does require some learning of how to search with Adobe Acrobat. But, very worth it. I have a mastermind group of the best techs in the country available to help me with any aspect of piano work! Who helps me with bridges? Nick Gravagne and Bill Spurlock. How taught me about downbearing? John Hartman and Chris Robinson. Action geometry? Richard Davenport comes to mind, among others. CD's, software and the Internet are not the complete answer, but definitely worth including in our arsenal of tools. MANY thanks and ongoing gratitude are due to the folks who have contributed so much to PTG Journal over the years. All of you folks who participate on this list, but don't participate in PTG...are missing out. And, we in PTG are missing out by not having you with us! There is strength in numbers, and our collective wisdom grows exponentially when we share info in these ways.

List, I recently bought 20 years of Journal on CD, and feel it's not really as convenient as paper. ie. reading in the loo, on a 'plane, chucked in luggage for holiday. regards, Bruce Browning - The Piano Tuner Don <pianotuna@yahoo.com> said: > Hi Gordon, > > Order the Journals on CD from the home office.
