Re: [Cz-L] Website and Maps on CD

Hi, Czernowtizers,

Jerome is making a very generous offer, even for those
of us with high speed connections, when he mentions
the number of maps he has collected on one CD and the
convenience of having them on-hand.

I think that those of us who can, should help out and
volunteer to make copies and pass those on to those
who cannot make copies as to relieve Jerome of all the
work.

My husband belongs to some groups which "vine" CDs,
and each individual makes a copy of the original and
then mails the original on to the next interested
party. This may be too advanced for some of our
members who may not even have "burning" capability on
their machines. However, it cuts down time and cost
for each individual and it is a hamish thing to do, if
you have the capability.

Anyway, I would be happy to receive a CD and then
distribute copies to several members, as I will write
to Jerome privately later.

Thanks, Jerome,
Shellie Wiener
San Francisco, CA

and how if you had a dial up, you could grow old
trying to download a single map (each map is around
3.5 MB)...

...So, let me try and be clear about what will be on
the CD:

1. 179 maps covering Europe from 38É30'N;16É50'E to
53É30'N;30É50'E
2. The index map with instructions and examples
3. The entire Czernowitz-L website that you can run
from the CD without being connected to the net. This
means you get all the maps, postcards, photos, stories
etc., as fast as your computer can dish it up. All
links work except those that access websites external
to ours (for example, JewishGen). Of course the
website you receive will be frozen in time at a
date that I start making the CD's.

I would be pleased to make the CD available to anyone
who thinks they would like to have one, not only to
the dial-up users. The maps, if you haven't looked at
them, are topographical, at a scale of 1:200,000,
which means that are very feature rich maps --
individual buildings are shown...
