It still has me listed in my college apartment from 1988-1989! We have now also purchased PhoneDisc by Digital Directory Assistance, and although it's a definite improvement over ProPhone, it still has some misinformation, mostly with changes that have happened over the past two years. But over all I find each much easier to use and it gives more freedom in searching. Personally I think when we find a Phone CD that is right up to date will be the same time pigs fly and hell freezes over! ***************************************************************** John Nemeth (Contractor) "So pray that there's Reference Librarian intelligent life somewhere EPA Region IV Library up in space because there's Atlanta Georgia bugger all down here on nemeth.john@epamail.epa.gov earth" ############################### -Monty Python- # Western Michigan U. 1989 # # Wayne State (Detroit) 1991 # ############################### *****************************************************************
