Thanks for the opinion, but I think that some folk will still buy them (in fact
I allready have a small list building as a result of this post). The best is
probably to do both .... the booklet for those who want it (including the many
fans without PC's and printers), and a database version as well (when/if I have
time to do it)

I've managed to get the price below $A10 each for sets of 5 or more btw, and
pick up the first set tonight. So if anyone does want one, please let me know.

Paul
