Having worked extensively and in great depth with the Acta, it seems to me
that to make it work as a CD, they must have entered the text manually; the
print is often poor, and I can't imagine a scanner making much of it. If
that guess is right, how much do you suppose C-H paid in wages to the
people who typed the thing? 69 quarto volumes of very small print?
On the other hand, I have electronically scanned and edited text - and it
can likewise be devilishly time consuming to go back, proofread, correct.
So my question is, how did they do all that work and get away with the low
price of $45,000?!!
