    Sadly,

    I just bought the 1&2nd Peter/Jude volume a day or two before this; not knowing that It was going to be included!

    Unfortunately this is going to ba problem for a while. I am studying 1 Peter 3:1-7 for an assignment (thanks for you book list Robert) and was whole heartedly glad these turned up...unfortunately it was after the 20+ books that I have gotten from the library!

    As Jacob has mentioned there were items added that were still in the pre-pubs lists as gathering interest.  This makes me wonder whether there are going to be any other pre-pubs in the upgrade that I will then have to manually delete from the pre-pub page.  I will be going through this carefully as finances to buy books I already have because of an upgrade will be wasted.

    Is there anyway that Logos could help out? Perhaps cross-checking what is available and emailing us dependant on what we have on pre-pub?

    Just a suggestion

    Yeah, I had purchased 3 of the new NACs already. I am thankful, though, for the others. (I'm secretly hoping that the 2 NACs on prepub are included, too, and will eventually show up [:)] ).

    Can you wait for the Logos 5 collections???

    Every time a new collection comes out it includes (of necessity) items that some people bought on pre-pub or after pre-pub. The last time Logos had an on-line app to calculate your upgrade cost based on the items you already purchased that were now in the collection. While not as good a deal as getting them together in the collection it was still worthwhile for me to upgrade. I expect that will be the case this time.

    Of course all these goodies (189 that I got) were a gift. They cost me nothing. I, too, had a couple of the NAC volumes, but that in no way detracts from the gift. I know all of us feel this way, especially those of us who benefited the most: who had silver or gold collections, as I did.

    Again, thank you, Bob, and thank you Logos.

    Thanks for that Mark. I have only used Logos since version three.  In fact it was the Anchor bible dictionaries that got me into purchasing the Gold edition because I became aware of it usfulness very quickly...just need to learn to use it better!  Logos 4 is allowing me to do that but some instructional videos from Morris would help (hint hint... [;)]).  Perhaps hanging out on the forums more often would help as well [:P].  I created a note file to place all the gems of tricks that I pick up so that I can find them again quickly without having to search through the forums.

    I forgot to mention I'm shifting soon and I am really glad that I can pack my books up in the form of a laptop and not shift stacks of heavy boxes of books!

    Once the public 4.0 forums are up it would be great if you could post those!

    It is only a small list as I only thought of doing it about a week ago!  Most of it is actually search terms you and one of the others have helped with in creating collections.

    I think most of us who are heavy users of Logos 3 spent a good deal of time trolling the forums (was newsgroups), looking at the on-line videos (www.logos.com/support), reading the tutorials, getting info off the blog, etc. and just trying things out. There is a bunch I still don't know how to do, but most of it is features I don't want to use. I've never bothered to see if syntactical searching would help me, for example.

    Now we have to relearn for Logos 4. There's enough that carries over so it hasn't been too bad so far. Like any tool, Logos takes time to learn how to use correctly and to its fullest, but rewards those who are willing to learn.

    That is a real benefit. Plus you can carry your library with you anywhere you want to take it.

    I created two note files with all of Morris Proctor's blog postings, and postings on the Logos blog that told how to do something. I organized them roughly by topic. That however is in Version 3 and there's no way to import it. Since it directly contains info from Logos and Morris I wouldn't feel right about posting the file without their OK. I'm sure I haven't updated it in a year or more. Besides, its a new ballgame. Maybe now that tips and tricks will be about 4.0 its time to start a new file.

    Are the missing NAC volumes only present for those who have Gold?  I have the NAC through
    Silver, but I haven't found those missing volumes yet.

    Did you get any crossgrade books yet? It might be they just released the Golden Edition crossgrade so far. You might get it later. Just a thought.

    I did get the new crossgrade books, but the NAC titles (Genesis vol2, Exodus, Isaiah vol1) haven't been put in.  Maybe these were just added for Gold users.

    Hi Adam,

    The NAC volumes are in the Silver crossgrade. I just checked your account, and it looks like you were mistakenly given the Scholar's crossgrade, instead of the Silver crossgrade. I'll unlock that for you now; the next time you restart Logos 4, you should start getting the new Silver (LE) resources.

    Can you check mine too...I think I'm missing those volumes....

    Hi Bob,

    Your account has a note: "Reported too many bugs; not eligible for silver"... not really sure what that's all about.

    All kidding aside, looks like you incorrectly got just the Scholar's unlock; I've now added Silver (LE) to your account.

    Maybe the computer can't tell the difference between scholar and silver so it went for alphabetical instead! [:P]

    Now Bradley, shouldn't high bug reporters during a beta program get MORE and not less? Or has this beta program worn you out?

    This again raises concerns over the cloud concept. At the very least, we should have a page added to our online account where we can view license information. If you hadn't checked, how do we know we had incorrectly gotten the wrong upgrade. I understand that you don't look a gift horse in the mouth, but if this had been a purchased product, how would you check your license to make sure you have everything you ordered, especially when libraries get large and harder to manage. I had generally been on board with the cloud concept, but this makes me nervous.

    As far as I know, all the crossgrades were put through by hand by the Marketing team (and probably in a great hurry, given everything else they're working on); given that there are hundreds of beta testers, it's probably just inevitable that a couple of mistakes would (unfortunately) be made. Regular ordering on logos.com is, as you might expect, a lot less subject to error.

    I'm sure that library/license management on logos.com will improve in the future; it hasn't really been possible for us to add 4.0-specific features to the website before Logos 4 is officially publicly released.

    I suppose that is only fair... maybe we'll run a "Books for Bugs" trade-in programme for Logos 5...? [:)]

    When does LBS5 beta start? I am game [:D]

    I did some hardware beta testing for a PalmOS group and nailed down a sneaky bug... got two PalmOS units for that one....

    so "Books for Bugs" might be better than Pre-Pub [;)]

    PS... Bradley... get some rest!!!
