this person was looking for a product that does not exist the only way to find info some times is to ask.
Moke simply pointed out a wealth of information from recent posts, all of which are potential - and some inexpensive - solutions.
granted the search function does provide info but when looking for specific info it is better to ask IMO after all isnt that what a forum is all about?
Well, which is it, Donald - does the search function work or doesn't it? Make up your mind.
This forum exists to provide useful information to tapers, yes. And the Archival Info forum and search functions exist to assist in providing that information.
sorry for sounding pissy but i think it would be nicer to just post a link to where the info is rather than remind people about how great the search feature is.
No need to apologize. Informing people about the search functions is the single nicest thing I can do - it enables them to find information out for themselves without having to rely on other people to respond to their question. Moke simply provided a link to a series of useful threads which, in part, addressed the question at hand. The fact that he did so by posting to results from the Simple Search - and my followup posting about the Advanced Search - just serves to help educate people about the search functions. Seems nice enough to me, helping people utilize as best they can the resources of this site. And I really have no interest in doing searches FOR people when they're fully capable of performing the search themselves.
also {imsure this will get moved now since it is a suggestion butt} There is a wealth of info in the archive section how bout we put it at the top of the list and name it something other than archive. how about "useful info for tapers"
The Archival Info forum is appropriately named and described on the main forum page: "Any information about taping that may be useful to other tapers." It just doesn't get any simpler.
