But wait, “There's more”, or “Here's one I prepared earlier.”……………..Quote from Gr82briding:"Hi AllIn the interests of saving the register a few dollars I think those of us who choose to would prefer to have electronic copies only anyway......what say you.....?CheersNeil"Yup, there's a group of people been asking about this for yonks, Neil, seems many would prefer our newsletter that way.  The question is asked often, but until NZ Post make it imperative knotalot seems to happen :D.Quote from the Red Baron:"The weather is improving so may even see you for the run tomorrow. It's on the pdf but didn't quite make it to the runs calendar."We've been down this road before, Alex.  The newsletter is the "official" source for the Register, all us Area Reps labour mightily to get our proposed runs into that publication, which you have posted to you.  Garry and his team (there's a lot of people get involved in folding and posting that newsletter to you) donate more mighty free labour.  If you choose to prefer the electronic world to the paper one, then you would miss out on a lot of runs: only in Auckland are the runs routinely added to the forum calendar, by guess who?  When I have the time.  (We have made provision for the other area reps to do the same, if they wish to use the calendar, but can't access it, or the access was given to another person and we haven't caught up with the change, then they should contact me and I'll sort it for them, also on my time.)Canterbury also put their runs on the web, on their own excellent site.Quote from Mathias:"Call me dumb, but I'm having trouble downloading the Newsletter from the blog site.  This doesn't appear to be a regular link to a PDF file.  Clicking it takes me to Acrobat.com, which complains bitterly that I haven't got the latest Flash Player.  I wouldn't think I need a Flash player to download a PDF?  Matthias"I won't call you dumb, Matthias.  If you hover your mouse over that link and look at the notification area at the bottom of your browser screen you will see that link points to the Acrobat site, not to a file download, so you cannot right click on the link and save the pdf, so you would have to go to Issuu.com until the link is revised.

I woke up in the wee small hours with a cure for the newsletter download links not working on the blogsite, but Garry has again expressed the point that the newsletter is made available online late deliberately.For the life of me I can't understand this philosophy: it's a great publication that he should be very proud of.  If I'd worked as hard as him to publish it I'd be keen to expose it to a wider audience.  It is an excellent advertisement for the Register.But it is the wish of the editor and the Committee of the Register to e-publish late, so that's it, I'll leave my ninja fingers out of it.If the only condition we use to make it available earlier is to create a "financial members only" situation then that's going to make more work for the Membership Secretary and more work for me, and you will all have yet another login name and password to remember.If it ain't broke don't fix it: hard copy still works, even if the labour involved in actually turning the pages is huge.
