Well, my greedy, gotta-have-a-full-library side says gimme, gimme,
gimme; but my what's-really-best-for-the-user's-group side wins out
and would like to see them go to Interex; hopefully with Interex
somehow creating scanned and webified (and maybe OCRed?) versions of
the major articles from them.  From what Michael Doyle said earlier,
I don't know how much they'll get used, though!  I know I'd bookmark
such a site, and would refer to it a few times per year - I guess
it's a question of cost effectiveness.

As far as the CD version, well, it sounds nice, but I'm afraid that
cost would be the question again.  When I set out to do my tutorial
this year, I asked if any vendor wanted to create some diskettes full
of sample files to go with my tutorial, two or three people said to
create a web page instead - so I think that's probably the best way
to go!  (by the way - Terry Simpkins *did* copy about 100 diskettes
and brought them to the conference for me to hand out - and they were
*very* well received!  Thanks, Terry!)

My $.02, U.S!
