Thanks Mike,
I appreciate your feedback. I'd also like to point out that we did
subcategorize the Futures>General area (and it was a lot of
work :-)). If you click on the word General you'll see 7 more sub-
categories with anywhere from 7 to 80 books in them.
As far as bringing the Search Box to the home page is concerned, I
think you have a good point. While making any changes to a home page
is something we'd only do after serious consideration, we'll keep your
comments in mind the next time we discuss making any changes.
Keep coming back Mike. We have a lot of things planned and I look
forward to hearing your reaction to them.
Talk to you again some time!
Steve
