re OED & QPD

[Samuel Moyer]

Same company... same deal...

As mentioned, they have the right to cancel at any time...  you can't click
directly to the OED either... but you must enter in your membership ID each
time, swearing you are the member....  the three or four screens are
probably a hassle for lower speed connections.

The OED via B.O.M.C. has been down at times... about 4 to 6 weeks last
October or there abouts.

Even so... it is a good deal if you can buy the books through them that you
would have purchased anyway... While not an incredible selection, you may
find a few books you would like... I was able to get four books I wanted...
all in hard cover... and a few XMAS presents.  Prices were ok.

I like having the OED on-line... comes in very useful at times, particularly
while reading MD.
