Hi Mike,
Yes, I've got June 15th marked off on my calendar.
You are right, a CDL purchase of the Sanborn maps was put off because
of 2 things: it's not a great product (scratchy black and white
images), and the possibility of getting LC to do the scanning. Julie
may chime in with more details, but the current situation is that we
are trying to find a legal way to "gift" money to LC to support the
project.
See you in June - Cynthia
