• I have been a user of Logos since version 1.6. I have watched with fascination as it gets more and more complex. That's what I think most people don't quite get, as well as the constant supply of scholar-ready resources available--the phenomenal power increase each new version supplies. A trick I've found is to buy little collections...say you want book "x." Go to that book's page, and look at the upper right hand side. It should say something like: "this book is included in the following collections:" and then list them for you. Watch how much more bang you can get for your buck in those groupings! As someone with two Associate Degrees in Computer Science, and quite a few years of database programming experience, I have to state that what often gets overlooked is the constant and massive improvement of the base engine that runs the software. Its system of indexing is beyond capability to explain. Most long-time users have thousands of books in their electronic library, I presume, and yet finding a word or phrase gets constantly faster. I did an inline search for one book recently, and received my results almost instantaneously. Bottom line: the congregation ought to give their Pastor a monthly book budget, and ought to include enough for these upgrades when they occur. And the Pastor needs to keep upgrading his or her computer capacity as well. With these investments, rewards are eternal, not just temporal. Logos software is a machine that keeps getting heftier and more valuable. Salute!
    1. This is an Excellent gift (today) from Logos! Just downloaded my copy and started in on the Preface. It had a little flag symbol next to his expression of "eight years ago," and, upon clicking, up popped the Timeline of that period! It's beyond mind-boggling what Logos has done to interweave so many utilities and database-related information sets with its texts. Thank you, Logos and Bob Pritchett for your far-reaching insight and foresight in creating this massive indexing technology!
