Re: Sec: Britannica

George,
  I use virtually all my Chapter II (now Title VI I believe) on CD-ROM
programs.  For the Britannica, especially, I am looking forward to my
tech people getting the CD version installed, since students have a hard
time with the print version.  I believe that the Cd and print together
cost about $1200 on a special earlier this year.  Contact your sales rep
and try to get that rrepeated.
