The picture was clear enough and even though i had to turn my speaker all the way up, I could hear it very clearly, that is when he spoke at all. For those of us who have this or a similar problem I guess the printen word on displayed pages would have been better. I'm sorry that it didnt work out for me. I would have enjoyed more info. Oh , by the way, I did get the yearly subscription when I did join, I do hope you have that in your files on me. If you don't and I was put down for monthly only, please correct that for me, because I wanted the fifty-five dollar deal that you offered when I joined. I have been pleased so far, and I look forward to many wonderful hours researching online on your website.

I certainly will be joining when I know I have the time to get the most from the site. May I suggest that you make it clear how people can enlarge to full size those small screens that you are discussing. This makes your commentary much more worthwhile. Whilst by turning up my volume to full I was able to hear your soft-voiced commentator, I suggest that you might want the site's volume turned up too. Footnote seems most impressive and well worth the subscription rate for people who have time both to use and to contribute to it. A well thought out experience, site and opportunities I feel.

I appreciated the content and the walk through. I was able to enlarge to full screen but the print was a bit fuzzy. Not sure if I could do anything to correct this. I liked the abilty to walk through with you and see how each of the buttons give different options. It looks like a great system to access and something I may ask Santa for... or at least put it on my wish list. Thanks for the opportunity. I appreciated the content and the walk through.

I appreciate the effort made to communicate directly with the user and to explain the features of the site. I will make a point to visit the site and see what information you may have to assist me with my research. The search results you have shown are listed in descending order by number of matches made; further refinement is permissible, which is good. Would it be possible to select or toggle these search results to an alpha listing so the user can more easily select the specific area to view based on topic rather than on quantity of matches? If you are able to provide that capability, you will have further surpassed "Acom." On the negative side, will the ability of "all" users to add to a page eventually create an unwieldy and "mucked up" research experience. If these "enhancements" by users are meaningful, all well and good. However, experience with some "Acom" users and their "trees" would seem to indicate a "disaster" in the making. How are you prepared to deal with such? Thank you. Interesting video. I appreciate the effort made to communicate directly with the user and to explain the features of the site.
