I have two of the Orchids of New Guinea CD-ROMs and they are really stellar.
Only complaint I had, and I was told this has improved in the later CDs, is
the images are teeee-tiny on my modern 19" LCD.

An excellent resource, especially for those of you in Europe - that price is
really good. Not so good for us over here, though. =(

Thank you for your endorsement and your comments Eric, I will pass them on
to the authors, the dollar/pound conversion is unfortunate but worth it.

Yeah the drop in the dollar's value is taking its toll.

I just ordered a book from Britain; it was painful to watch the
conversion calculation.

However, when my daughter comes over from London, she gets great buys
on stuff here.

The dollar is at 1.36/ Euro, too, not good news for our school's
semester abroad program in Austria.

Hey what are you guys complaining about. The Australian Dollar is currently
trading at $AUD 1 = $USD 0.083. So if you think it is expensive for you
guys to buy books/CDs priced in Euros or for travelling to Europe spare a
thought for people in countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc
whose currency is below parity with the $USD.

No more complaining please!

But the upside is, travel to Australia and New Zealand is affordable for you
guys.

Cheers

OOPs - make that $AUD 1 = $USD 0.83 - we are not a banana republic yet!
