OrchidWiz vs. eAOS
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. -danny "Mike Pearson see .sig" wrote in message news:1i014yg.1sq6zpkorq40mN% Here's another question: where the heck is the info on eAOS hidden on the AOS site?

OrchidWiz vs. eAOS
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.

I figure that it has got to be the manufacturers and vendors of blank plant tags that are behind it all. ;-) -- Mike KD7PVT NAR #70953 - Sr/HPR Level-1 ~ BEMRC - NAR Section #627 NO Junk Email, please!

K Here's another question: where the heck is the info on eAOS hidden on the AOS site? Can't find it anywhere. You're not the only one. Other judges are unable to find it to purchase it either. At our last business meeting it was mentioned that the AOS web page would be going through a revision to make it more user friendly. I think you have to go to the Bookstore and buy it there. Cost is $50 or there abouts. IMHO wait for the update with the 40K images to actually be released before you buy. (Bird in the hand is worht two in the bush) K Barrett |

By the way there's an article comparing OW & eAOS on the AOS Forum. I
think its in the affiliated society section, or another non-culture - non-photo - non-hybrid part of the Forum. K Barrett "K Barrett" wrote in message . .. "tennis maynard" wrote in message ...

I have not seen eAOS, but from what I gather, it might be worth a society
owning both, not one or the other. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies. Books, Artwork, and lots of Free Info! "K Barrett" wrote in message . ..
