Mark--

For those of us who grew up with the 1950s Groves and the current 1980s Groves,
we all know that it is an indespensible tool for research and great
information. I would hope that most of us on this list seriously consider this
opportunity to have on-line access at such a low per-person cost.

Please count me in.

Thank you--
