Jonathan writes with some questions about Tom Bullocks Stone Circles CD-ROM:

This sort of information changes so often that it's impractical to put on the CD-ROM. Access is a tricky thing. There may not be a single right or wrong answer at a particular site as situations vary (eg. whether there are animals in the field or not)

All the sites Tom lists are listed in the Megalithic Portal web site and the idea is that visitors add their own comments. The next version of the CD-ROM will integrate with the web site so you can jump straight to the correct page.

All the photos are available in JPG form in folders on the CD-ROM - have a browse. There is also free image viewing software in the 'Bonus' folder (I think it's called)
I agree that it would be nice to print pages as a whole thought.

Thanks for the comments
Cheers,
Andy
