-[ Quoting William Elliot , to Dennis Menard ]-
 DM> We had an EB ... With National Geographic (108 years on 30 CDs),
 DM> Gutenberg (850 vols as of Oct 97), and a few other computer resources
 WE> Wow!  And all of this electronically crossed referenced?  Like if I
 WE> wanted to know about sex, could I do just one search to cross reference
 WE> all of this stuff or would I have to individually look up sex in each
 WE> electronic index for each reference source?
:)  Gutenberg isn't indexed at all; it's a simple collection of e-text.  In
the National Geographic set a search, for your area of interest, can be per-
formed from any of its 30 CDs, and it will provide a list of every location
where your area of interest is addressed on all 30 CDs.  For example.
 WE> The SCIENCE echo would be a place to consider basic science, the other
 WE> echo would be good for discussing applications of science.  Seems I've
 WE> peeked at both and decided for the SCIENCE echo.
I'll see about picking it up; thanks for the reference.
 WE> So that's why the media monopoly is legal, 'cause it maintains the
 WE> status quo?
 DM> :)  Is that what it's doing?
 WE> Yea, we're seeing it always going from bad to worse but do you ever
 WE> see it get better? -)
Doesn't that mean it presents the status quo as changing for the worse?  :)
