JAKA CD

[RuevenM at aol_com]

Hi David,

<< Bringing up another touchy subject, how's that cd program coming along? 
Sure
 would be nice to have access to the old information.  Now that would truly
 be a worthwhile service to the membership.  Something worth paying for. More
 availablility of information on the old fish would certainly generate
 interest in keeping the >>

     I spoke to Barry about that recently and he has just been too busy to 
get that tedious job done. I agree, let the AKA use some of this $100,000 to 
hire someone -- or activate the computer committee -- to complete the CD of all 
old publications. I know Tony T. was working on the old INDEX, another jewel of 
a publication and he could probably use help too. There is so much wonderful 
information in the old publications and it is ashame it is unavailable to the 
vast majority of the membership. People would just flip over what is in it. 
Peter Tirbak's old "Mop Shop" column is priceless. The old fishroom tour 
articles are great. JAKA when it was purely a scientific publication and published 
separately was amazing. Rosario has a great old article on the history of South 
American Annual Spawning Mediums. There is tons of original stuff by Scheel 
and Roloff. There are many long translated articles by Walter Foersch -- on 
furzeri, oeseri, walkeri. There is alot of translated material. People just have 
no idea the enormous wealth of unbelievably good material we are sitting on, 
plus the old publications give a good idea of what the AKA used to be like. 
Mouths will drool over the old multi-page F&EL - wait until you see all the 
species.
