Thanks. Akira. As both you and Jed Rothwell point out there is the light weight HTML version, which was a lot easier to access. > http://www.mydigitalpublication.com//display_article.php?id=1104768 > <http://www.mydigitalpublication.com/display_article.php?id=1104768> These days I have a dual monitor quad core workstation that I use at home. I was able to load the full-feature publication on one of my monitor screens. As I was "Flipping" through the pages it reminded me of the old Gopher days. Some on the Vort list may still remember Gopher. It was one of the ways we accessed files via FTP on the internet before Mosaic came along. Mosaic was considered the first recognized web browser when it hit the scene back in the 1990s. Back then I wuz working at University of Wisconsin, Division of Information Technology, developing and loading university course descriptions by generating primitive static HTML files through the use of CGI and PERL scripts. For me personally, as I was "flipping" through the pages of this "digital" publication on my monitor screen I began to realize how ridiculous this contrived use of technology was being used for. It was being used in such a half-assed way. There is absolutely no valid reason to try to continue mimicking the illusion of flipping through individual pages on a monitor screen - as if to give the reader some contrived sense of familiarity and comfort. This is like trying to "pill” you dog or cat with medication that you think they will refuse if they were actually allowed to see and taste the "pill" for what it actually is - MEDICATION. In a sense, they are insulting the intelligence of their readers by assuming they simply can't deal with reading publications in a more direct & authentic digital format. Eventually, as ebooks become more ubiquitous, these ridiculous vestigial throw-back visual aids will go away. The younger generation will not care since most of what they read will be in electronic format. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
