Hi Michael,

Grady edited the later versions of the Catalogue - the earlier
versions were edited by someone else, I don't recall exactly who. Was
it Sears?

The Catalogue is new to me - I had heard of it and read about it and
longed for it, but only recently bought my own copy. It's been an
invaluable reference for the nerd in me - my wife looked at it briefly
and declared it was the driest reading she had ever seen. LOL

To me, it's a page-turner. I'm slowly working my way through it,
reading every entry. :)

The software is a great bonus as well.

Best regards and clear skies,

MikeG
