    Online & dynamic is the only way to go.  Let members update only their data along with posting one photo of themselves. Allow members to download the database if they want.

    The directory is not as important as the ABI board feel. Make it to where it is kept on the web site and update as you can. No one needs a disk that had changes the day they were made. However one point of contention. You should make the entire batabase available as,for example I recently asked a Face Book Brat if she was who I thought and it turns out the one of the family I knew had gotten married and she was the baby, Had I been able to scroll the database I would have known. You would find amazement in that the Data Base will locate people you even forgot.

    First, thanks to all the Brats that keep this wonderful data base updated.  I, personally, would rather have the information on-line instead of paper or a CD.  Not ony does it save money but it is up to date.  I was looking for information yesterday and found it very easy to find.

    Online would be the easiest to use and keep up-to-date

    A quick response to this post, and to re-iterate to several others that might not realize.  The entire directory is available online 24/7 to all brats that pay their adbak.  Nothing has changed from the way things were done in the past.  The only difference is that now, instead of waiting for the print version to be mailed to those that paid their adbak, they can now access the directory whenever they want on the website.

    Remember, only those people that paid their adbaks, are able to access the directory.  All you have to do is upgrade your membership to either the Supporting or Sustaining membership level.

    And another gentle reminder, the information is as current as the brats make it.  You can log in to the website, and update your own information.

    Get rid of the CD, production and mailing costs :(  Online directory is good. Soon that'll be obsolete too--with almost everyone on facebook, the time will come. Thanks for asking

    Either The PDF or the CD would be fine for me.
