Countdown: Brittanica Almost Not Gathering Interest (sort of)

Admittedly a difficult countdown.  It could be just 2 more days. Or up to 16.  A careful grammatical analysis of the not-promise.

I still plan to be overwhelmed by this prepub.  What in heavens do you do with 20,000 media resources??  Think about the new Media Browser (or its replacement?).  Goodness, think about the listing you get.  Or the download.

Then, almost 100,000 articles.  I assume your search results will be Brittanica, and a few Logos resources on the side.  Of course, I already analyzed how they'd have to build the Logos TOC.

It goes on, I guess ... a gazzillion topics?  I can see why this resource might be a bit taxing.

Well, ok. Today's over. Start monitoring tomorrow. It's exhausting.

Even the Logos guy seemed to be muchly impressed ... it's a prepub .... still time to save money.

    I keep trying to not think about this as I patiently wait for its arrival but there you go getting me all excited about it again!

    Yes I have to admit that the statement by Kyle here the other day completely reignited my daily excitement for it's arrival.
