Frankly, concerning the problems that I had at Alexander Street, one or both may have been of my own making. I checked the website for changes and noticed a fresh download page--figured everything was good to go. Then, today, I got an email from them notifying me of the new download. I need to be more patient next time--after all, the download is good for two weeks. Now, Naxos is a different matter . . . .
Oh, and thanks for responding to my query to all MobileReaders about their Alexander Street experience(s). You were the only one who responded--well, except for me, and I don't count.

The World's Fair was in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1982. I remember this so vividly. Spent a week there enjoying the food and everything. I still have a souvenir from then.
