Hi Rhonda; I do not know where the title came from, but I noticed it too. By the way, while I have contact with you, can we get together and try out my old cf cards and try out the NLS site. I need to go over the changes and start downloading the Kurnel books. I do not know where they would be accept maybe under NFB or Marc Mauer. Give me a call when you can. I will be off on Friday. 301-496-8584 Thanks Terry Powers
