Thank You LOGOS!
I had something of a realization today as I was reading through the forum.
Sometimes I might be studying along and things might take a bit longer than I am use to (or would like) to populate. From switching Layouts to Parallel Resources...(what is 15 to 60 seconds anyway, it is usually because I have too many searches or items open and running at the same time that slows things down anyway) How fast can I process all the information that is before me anyway?
Then I remembered....how long it use to take me to get my resources assembled and opened (not including finding all the references that I could cross link to-- which I never did). There is no way that I would have the time to spend accessing in a physical library even an insignificant fraction of the resources that I have in Logos. Not even considering the cost of those physical books (which don't jump off the shelf and open at the push of a button) and the space needed to store them...not even taking into consideration that I have them all on my laptop... and I can take them with me and access them anywhere, anytime! I do alot more researching by having everything just a mouse click or two away since the software has made it so easy for me.
I realize, now more than ever, that having my Logos software has totally changed how I study the Word, and I'm thankful that our heavenly Father has blessed this company and enabled it to invest the financial resources required to give us such an amazing software program for studying His Word!
The best part is that it keeps getting better and better.
Thank You LOGOS!
May our heavenly Father continue to bless you corporately and individually as you continue in the work set before you!

I suppose this is much better than being thankful for all patience I have developed waiting for stuff to down and index.[:D]

I'd like to thank Logos for the recent update which improved layout and parallel resource load times dramatically.

I am getting much better at the waiting and indexing. I just consider how much more effective my study will be. I have certainly learned alot and have added so many to read resources instead of just search resources.
Thanks Logos!

Now, if I could just quit learning new features and testing the very latest Beta, perhaps I could put all this knowledge to use in studying the Bible! [:D]
Indeed, Logos, the progress you have made in both Windows and Mac versions is incredible. Thank you. I also appreciate how hard you work to rectify the occasional error.

You mean we are supposed to be learning the Bible more then the program? I don't remember reading that in the help file anywhere. Has that been posted on the wiki?

Who's learning the program? I'm just seeing how fast I can take screenshots and post them to the forum. (now that's addicting)

The Wiki cannot focus on that page. [:'(]
To remember the original intent of this thread—before some dog with a green halo hijacked it—I do appreciate all the hard—and brilliant—work Logos had done on L4.

sorry, found that i misspelled focused (according to COED). So you probably hit the link before i finished editing the title of the page and the above post. Try it again and let me know if it is not working.
P.S. the link is set to open in a new tab/window.

L4 has changed how I prepare for small group meetings and I can see it getting better with the 4.1 Print/Export feature (still in beta).
So AMEN to those words.

Glad to see you've all been answering questions in my absence. Actually, since I've been back I've been finding it hard to find any questions that haven't already been answered yet by the time I get to them. Have to content myself posting pithy but useless remarks at the end of other threads...

How strange that it started out created by Melissa Snyder and was created with the title "4.0b Beta 8":
steve clark said:sorry, found that i misspelled focused (according to COED).
Hmm, it looks wrong to me now. I think it's an American vs. British English thing. Americans tend not to double the letter before an -ed or -ing ending if it's not doubled in the stem and the syllable before the ending is not stressed. Brits and Canadians do. For example: focused vs. focussed; traveling vs. travelling, etc. But "passed" and "spelling" on both sides of the pond.

If the base word has:

rot, gun)
one syllableone short vowel
one consonant at the endyou double
the final consonant when you add a vowel suffixOrthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Seems that those of us who don't have a MAC might have to invest in one as all the questions seem to be on the MAC side a the moment.

Perhaps that is because the Mac just recently went into Beta and an imminent release date has been announced. In any case, investing in a Mac is always a good thing.

Most of the posts over there seem to be bug reports. I'm ignoring them. Not reason enough for me to invest in a Mac. I'd rather spend my money on more Logos resources. [:)]
And yeah, I bet it's because of the recent announcement of a ship date, and the invitation for people to go ahead and buy it now. But I'd been seeing the Mac post count increase steadily over the past couple of months anyway, as the product got more and more complete and more and more stable.
