Web Page, Discs and Disks
By Joyce Brite
RE: Bill Chapman's idea for a parts exchange web page
Setting up a web page for selling and trading player piano parts is a great idea which could benefit many buyers and sellers. I am investigating the possibility of setting up a home page here.
The members of this mailing list are all very fortunate to have access to Internet and to receive its benefits. However, I have long believed that the majority of player piano repairmen, restorers, and hobbyists do not have Internet access, nor do they own a computer or intend to buy one. I also belive that, in all likelihood, these same people are have the parts everyone is looking for.
I am interested in finding a way to connect these people without Internet to this information network. Snail mail and telephone appear to be the only options. Does anyone have other suggestions?
RE: disc vs. disk. Maybe it's because I live in an agricultural state, but I define disc as a piece of farm equipment you tow behind a tractor. A disk is something used with a computer. Discing helps prepare the soil for planting. I've never lived on a farm myself (I take that back--I once rented an apartment located on a farm, but wasn't involved in farm operations). I checked with several sources around here and they all said disc was the proper spelling for this equipment.
Cheers,
