Yer Honor,

I didn't notice any slams of Kalmbach... but I did see that
note about TRAINS available on DVD! Man if we could get all
those magazines on DVD, in a searchable format, who CARES
about the index? :-) (Ok that's an exaggeration.)

I wrote Kalmbach an email asking if the DVD format is Acrobat
(PDF file) or something else. I will be greatly disappointed if
they chose to save the magazine files in some mysterious/proprietary
format -- mainly because in 10-15 years there may be no way to read
them, while PDF will likely be with us forever.

I wonder how they'll handle those multi-page fold outs in an
electronic format? Remember those awesome EMD advertising inserts
in the 1960's in Trains?
