Hi Mac Thanks for pointing out the new NASS link to the Tucson Conference. I assume Bob Terwilliger did the excellent layout work. Note his skillful use of "sublinks" that take you to high resolution graphics and other links. Working with a webmaster has made me appreciate all the hard work and experience needed to be a good website designer. What I really like about the Roger's Bailey's conference report is the on-screen quality of the photographs! Fred, Roger and I went through over a hundred photographs that everybody sent in so we were able to select photos of very good quality and resolution.
As much as I love my paper edition of The Compendium, its photographs and other graphics just don't compare to the digital on-screen versions in the NASS website (or the CD). When you are looking at highly detailed little engravings on a complicated dial, resolution is everything. And when you're looking at art, color is important. I know to publish The Compendium in color on photo paper would break the bank, that's why it is important that we consult the graphic available through the NASS website and CD. But I still want my paper one! Kudos and thanks to Roger, Bob, Fred, and Carl for the work you did to make this link. John John L. Carmichael Jr. Sundial Sculptures 925 E.
