Richard,

I'm glad that you're glad the Journal might be coming out on CD. For
obvious reasons, as a sometime author and contributor to the Journal, I
have more than mixed feelings about it. Piano technicians, like many
others, have little or no regard for copyright laws. I suspect that
making the Journal accessible on CD will simply exacerbate those
problems.

The obvious solution for those wishing access to the information
published in the Journal on a continuing basis is to simply join PTG. It
comes every month. International memberships are accepted. I’m just
old-fashioned enough to believe that those wishing to benefit from a
service should be willing to help pay for it though I realize I’m
probably in a minority here. Some issues are better than others, but
there it is. That and most PTG Chapters have at least some kind of a
library with back issues available to members.

Regards,

Del
