A subscription type model assures that the purchaser has the best information available and the AKA benefits from a steady stream of annual revenue.

Well I disagree with Bills assessment of the price,  I have more then made up the value to me with the articles that I can find without going to my BB's that I have since the late 60's.  So it is worth the price, and heck they lowered it anyway to get rid of them.

2. Yes it is outdated and they used an outdated mode to scan it in.  They are unable to make corrections easily and the guys that did it in the first place charged the ACA an enormous amount of money to scan it using technology that can't be corrected.

My shot is to make it in HTML format and then the article errors can be corrected as well as the fish ID's updated with very little trouble. and  easily read by all.

They rejected this idea because well I guess they just don't think the smae whey I do.
