Re: Info Center

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

There was a version of the library in PDFs once that were set up with the
search indexes. FANTASTIC!!!!!

The current PDF's when you can find them, DO NOT WORK when you download
them. They all (never say all) have hard, internal links (not web links) to
other PDFs on some computer in Boulder, CO that's not on MY network, thank
you very much.

Where's the person with the cockamamy theory of how to do a web site that
should be fired? The person at COMMON was probably just trying to do what
they're told their job is--just the messenger. And why wasn't she prepared
for an onslaught? SOMEBODY IS NOT LISTENING!!!
