Donna,   3 cheers from this quarter as well!!  i finally purchased the 40 or 
so back isues of pomona that are still available.  I have no words for the 
value in there to me as i make decisions in establishing fruit plantings in 
this challenging climate.  In regards to folks not having web acess, my wife 
and i got started last year using the local libraries computer and one at a 
local community center, as total beginners.   Having all the back issues 
available would be a priceless resource,  and quite worthy of financial 
investment by nafex
