Corvette restorer cd wanted

[Thomas S.]

Yes, all the way back to edition 1 and a very good copy of it.

[Thomas S.]

Yes, it can be copied to a hard drive, but all of the file protection will still exist. Please note that a drone from NJ might appear above your house if you do that.

Just wanted to COMMEND Tom for all the time expended on this project... it was a herculean effort!

Yeah, and I don't have a Terabyte drive...I'll keep an eye out in the skies !

I also agree w/ Jack M. that your efforts must have been substantial and are greatly appreciated !

I mistakenly wrote that the file size of the new USB version was 2 Tb. It should have read 2Gb. Also, it is being supplied on a USB3.0 drive so it will load much faster. USB3 is backwards compatible with USB2 ports as well as Apple MACs.

2Gb, that's good news! Now I can cancel that order for an IBM mainframe.

Your efforts are much appreciated.

The irony is that a 2TB drive is probably half the size of the keyboard you’re typing on, unless you’re on a phone.

Re: Corvette restorer cd wanted...I have been working on the new version of the complete Restorer set up to the most recent issue. Big project, took several months and it's in management's hands. Will be on a USB flash drive, will load much faster and fully searchable using standard Adobe Acrobat tools. The previous versions on DVD did not include many topics so that was one improvement. Over 10,000+ pages, organized by volume/edition. Probably available by the end of the year or sooner.

Thomas,

Is the content also searchable using NitroPro 13 ?
I have used Adobe before, but my wife's IT guy told her NitroPro was a better product at the time, so that's our default pdf program...(long story, but he was the IT guy for a large school district)

Been at this for over 40-years. Never heard of the product. Lots of copycat PDF products out there and I've yet to find any that were better than the Adobe products. PDF is a standard created by Adobe. It stands for portable document file. A lot of IT-centric people tend to promote or use "off-label" stuff for whatever reasons and that's not meant to be derogatory.

My advice is to Download the free version of Adobe Reader.

All FYI: Received my thumb drive today. Works well with Apple Preview (default reader on Mac OS).

Thomas

Great work - much appreciated. Search function works well. Nice to have ALL of Restorer!

Dave

[Thomas S.]

Good to know. There were some issues when opening it up with Chrome. I would imagine on a Windows PC without Adobe, Edge might jump - can't speak to functionality. Whatever works for you is fine. I work with MACs all the time but don't use the previewer. Thanks for feedback. You are the first to provide it.

FWIW: Drive works well with Linux Mint (Cinnamon) running on a really old iMac. Linux Mint OS comes with a default "Document Viewer" - not Adobe Acrobat. Screen looks way different than your introduction Adobe Acrobat example, but works fine. For that matter, Apple Preview screen looks markedly different than Acrobat, but it also functions fine.

Just so folks know, using Preview on a Mac, you will want to click View > "Table of Contents" as opposed to View > "Bookmarks", to see the navigation. In my case anyway.

[Thomas S.]

I did not test the various viewers included with each operating system, so I'm not surprised that some of the Adobe features have a different option/feature path when using another viewer. The good news is that the compatibility (beyond Adobe) seems to ok at this point.
