I want to mention to all the Club Members to take an extra look at the
Classifieds on Page 6 of the latest issue of the Club newsletter. Allen
Heath has an ad in there for an Amphicar Archive CD. I had the opportunity
to get a test drive of a draft copy of one of these CD's, and I must
say..."WOW....what a great job!". What Al has done is taken most of the
Amphicar web pages out there on the Internet, including the complete
searchable archives of all the postings to this discussion group, and put
them onto one CD. You might say, "Gee, why would I need that...I have the
Internet?". Well, to be honest with you, the same thought crossed through
my mind...but after checking it out, it really is great. What it does for
you is lets you have the entire Amphicar Internet all on your local
computer - that means no connecting to the web - and no waiting for
downloads! There are tons of Amphicar photos and information out there on
the web, but would take forever to get to and load each page. With Al's CD,
they just pop up on your screen! Plus, he has a nice clickable index page
that skips all the garbage that you have to wade through while surfing the
net.
Another great use for one of these CD's is for people who have a computer
but are not Internet users. They get the entire Amphicar Internet on their
computer without being connected!
Consider ordering one of these from Al for your Amphicar collection. Years
from now you'll be glad you have it!
