Here is what they said in the marketing email I received:

The initial post I saw said that it is for PC or Mac and was "machine searchable" there is a large thread on Cloudy Nights that has a lot of drivel to sort through after it's original posting but you may be able to glean all the information you need from here

Does anyone know if this S&T archive is searchable? I made the mistake of ordering the entire National Geographic collection some years back. I was so excited to get such a great resource. When it arrived, it was simply scanned pages (images) of the magazines. There was no text, so you couldn't search for a word or topic. I almost never use it, because it is so hard to find anything. I would order this set, but only if it can be searched effectively. Anyone know if that is the case? Cheers, Tyler
