<<While I would say that paper copies are much better for browsing (I wish I
had sufficient bookshelf space available for my set of ORs complete for AOP
campaigns) the ORs on CD beat them hands down for searching for names and
terms
(Brent Nosworthy literally could not have written "Bloody Crucible" without
the  CD search feature -- as I can well attest from innumerable phone calls
from  Brent before he purchased a CD set of his own).   What you really want
is
a complete paper set AND a CD version.>>

Bruce,

Interesting.  Why is that?  It sounds like you are saying the CD search
feature is more capable of locating items (names, places, etc.) in the OR
than are contained in the OR General Index.  Is that what you have found to
be the case?

Could you elaborate on what was going on in Brent Nosworthy's situation, and
how the CD search capability aided him in his work?
