Donna,
Yes Mark said there are only 3 folks currently on the accessible
subscription and wouldn't guarantee the accessibility part would continue
as it is contracted by a third party. I wonder if the person who is willing
to scan it could send it back to Sing Out for a smaller fee for their
trouble? He sent me a Word Doc sample copy which seems OK. I saved it as a
Web Filter copy in Word with a htm extension and though there are a few
spaces in words it seems to read pretty well and I can use book marks to
hold my place. I guess Word does too but I prefer a browser for that. I do
like the contents thus far and will probably join if there is a way for it
to continue in text format. I dont have a scanner or have software or time
to use it. So that is what I know.
