I'd like to reiterate that the 40,000+ images came from Ken Jacobsen at the
Pacific Central. Those of you who judged at the Trustees Meeting in Santa
Rosa saw them there as well as the Pac Central's intranet of laptops on
which to view them. If you judged at the Pacific Orchid Exposition or the
Santa Barbara show you saw it at the POE and maybe in SB. On the AOS forum
someone was touting somebody from Florida as getting all the scanned images
into the program. Which may or may not be true. But there'd BE NO images
if Ken hadn't sat for Hours for *years* scanning them one by one by one.
Over 40,000 of them from the award slides at the Pacific Central. I don't
know why no one at the AOS is shaking his hand or even mentioning his name.
He's a hero.

AQPlus is supposed to be released this month, we saw a beta version of it
earlier this month. I don't currently have any of the programs so I can't
really compare the new version to the old version. Ron McHatton (AOS
Director of Education & Regional somethingorother [he needs a shorter
title], former Atlanta O.S. member) gave us the demo, he is the one that
is doing the synonym tables for the AOS program and he is also the person
that reviews all of the descriptions for the new awards. The program will
have most of the award slides (40+k?) in the first release and should have
all of them soon. One interesting thing is that Ron is starting to go
back and clean up the names on some of the old awards. I think he has the
Cycnoches chlorochilon/warscewiczii/etc group corrected in this first
release.

the info on eAOS hidden on
the AOS site? Can't find it anywhere.
You won't find eAOS anymore; as far as I can tell, it's been replaced by
AQPlus, V3.0:

(From that page..."Like its predecessor, e-AOS, this highly anticipated
program provides access to all of the the AOS Awards data from 1932 to
the present in Awards Quarterly format."
