"Details thin on stimulus contracts"

"WASHINGTON — Although President Obama has vowed that citizens will be
able to track "every dime" of the $787 billion stimulus bill, a
government website dedicated to the spending won't have details on
contracts and grants until October and may not be complete until next
spring — halfway through the program, administration officials said."

Anybody want to bet we'll never see a searchable index - you know,
only copies of PDF files that aren't searchable?

Oh wait - that's been done before by this adminsitration.

Why would we even bother asking for details - it's not like we're
going to get any anyway.

Interesting. The same could be said of you for the past 8 years.

Need a mirror?

Have a look at some OCR (optical character recognition) software. They
can make pdf files searchable. ;-)

I use the pdf search function all the time.
Adobe Reader 7.0. It's free.
What am I missing?

Nothing. SW Tom ain't up to speed on software. Hell, he's still running
two cycle outboards.

You might want to try Foxit. Not near the resource hog that the Adobe pig
is.

Thanks. I looked and Adobe does use @23mb when it's resident.
But with 2gb memory in the box it's never slowed me down.
You like to play with software, Duck?
Ever check out that C-Organizer Pro I mentioned some time back?

Yeah I like to check out software apps. I just looked at the Organizer you
referenced. I think that Outlook pretty much handles the stuff they have to
offer, at least for my needs.
