Hi,
I remember the records noo.
It's too bad they didn't archive that stuff.
I have a favorite book I wish they would gigitize.
Actually I have two of them.
I hate to do this but I think I will just copy them for my use before I can't get them again.
One book is something I have read five times already. The other one I have read three times.
Normally I only read books once or at the most twice over a period of years.
It's so nice to have such a wonderful program and such great audio.
Colleen
