Roving Reporter Photo CD Volume 5 Now Available

[MickT]

IT'S READY ALREADY!

As a result of lots of nagging from fellow modellers that I meet on my travels in the vein of "when is your next CD coming out?", I am pleased to announce that after MUCH burning of midnight oil, I have now completed Volume 5, which covers NG models and events visited during 2008 and 2009, a full month and a half ahead of my self imposed "stretch target" of having it ready for release at NG South on 10 April and within only 100 days or so of taking the last photo in the final report that appears in the CD.

So, after all the nagging that some have given me, it is now time for those that did to step up to the plate and "put your money up front"......... ;)

This Volume covers my visits to layouts, meetings and events during 2008 and 2009 and contains: 22 separate reports and OVER 2750 photos covering more than 200 different narrow gauge layouts! The series of CDs has now covered 12 years of exhibition attendances and includes over 10500 images in total!

For the benefit of those who have not yet sampled the delights of these CDs, they are MUCH more than just an accumulation of digital photos. In Volume 5, the 22 illustrated reports contain commentary and photo captions in addition to the photos and the CD is viewed in the same way that you would view an internet website, and is constructed in exactly the same way, using HTML coding. It is, in fact, an electronic book. You simply put the CD into your computer, click on the "start" icon that you are guided to and everything is then navigated by simply clicking on links that appear on the screen to take you to the different reports. If you are able to read this, then your computer will be capable of running the CD. There are no executable files and there is no requirement to install anything.

I have managed to hold the price at the same as it was for Volume 4, which is just
