CD-Roma-Loma

Hey, gang: From what I've seen of the CD to date, it works very well when looking up an individual ("Joe Dokes") or all people w/the same last name ("Jackson"). However, it seems to take off on tangents that don't work at all when looking things up by "Institution" or occupational info.

I've got both a Dell (Windows ME desktop) and Mac (PowerBook G4 laptop using OS 10.2.8). When I attempt to seek something other than "Name" in both OS's the CD just spins around w/out going anywhere. After about 5 minutes I get an error message and it shuts itself down.

FYI, the only "Talmadge's" shown on the CD are the aforementioned Ferris (Syracuse 1918, deceased) and George (Miami-Ohio 1974, address unknown). Anybody graduating after 2002 is probably not included.

Bottom line: I've attempted to look things up for the various chapters I'm working for, and it's helpful for individual names. Otherwise, it's only so-so TFN. If people have queries, send me a PM - glad to help a bro!

ZAX,
