Vertebrate Fan
18 March 1999
Hi Mr. Patterson,
I visited the PE site and must say that I was very, very impressed. I am very much looking forward to seeing some vert-paleo articles! Most of the stuff there is out of my league but I'm very good at understanding vertebrate stuff! All in all I've bookmarked on the computer I use at school and am hoping that others will take a look at it perhaps inspiring their interest too.

Suggestions for Improvement

A better web address would greatly improve site traffic. Perhaps you could offer advertising space to pay for domain registration and other costs. News groups and discussion groups appear to be inhabited by network users that have a great deal of idle time. If "commentaries" were to be offered to a mailing list "email" researchers and publishers could review the submissions and reply to them in their spare time.
Adobe Acrobat 4.0 has been available for about 8 months. As with version 3.x the Acrobat Reader software is free. One of the tremendous benefits to version 4.0 is the ability to capture web content--including links and some dynamic content. Use of this new version could greatly improve the PDF distribution of articles!

PE Notes: We're incorporating this technology in this issue. The Acrobat PDF files are useful for citations and for those who print-and-read, although we find that not many of our readers actually use the PDFs on-line. Our web addresses are determined, in part, by the hosting institutions, and by the fact that we have so many separate sites. We currently support nine sites, the original at Texas A&M University, and eight more mirrors around the world, including our two newest in England and Australia. (See our editorial for more about that.)
Thanks
The work you devote to the project is appreciated--albeit somewhat quietly. Thank you.

PE Note: Thank-you, and thanks to all our readers!
