>It being Saturday, I went yesterday for my round of bookstores, here and
>there, hither and yon. Only bought one book (in another of my fields, so
>unmentionable here), but I did come across a very useful and cheap CD-ROM
>(with a $20.00 rebate, even [do Snagglepuss imitation]). It is The Complete
>Christian Collection, Deluxe 2-CD edition. You can find out all about it
>at: www.christiancdrom.com.
>It contains all kinds of goodies (about 350 vols.) of Christian and Medieval
>interest: Summa theologica, Ante and Post-Nicene Fathers, Calvin's
>Institutes, The Apocrypha, Gibbon, Pilgrim's Progress, the Vulgate, White's
>History of the Warfare of Science with Theology, etc., etc. It uses the
>Folio search software as its up-front engine (as does Stith Thompson, for
>example). It has its drawbacks, not the least of which is that you have to
>leave the up front CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive to make it go, easily ovecome
>if you are even an amateur hacker (as is yrs. trly). I've only worked with
>it for five minutes or so, but I can certainly recommend. Uncle Harve
>didn't have all these volumes in his library, even.
