Re: RE: AIS: Irisregister.com

Betty,  I have never considered replacing the printed checklists.  I always
favor adding enhancements, not taking away.

You said:

idea.  <<<

I think that the paper version and electronic version (online) are both
existing simultaneously right now. Adding a CD version would not add much
expense.  I believe it would actually generate more income. CD's are very
inexpensive to produce.  The Society could produce and ship the CD at a cost
of less than $5.  If the disk sold for $20 then that is $15 to the AIS
general fund.
