Woot!
Chicago 15 is coming out on CD-ROM.
You can
search for the location of terms in the book at chicagomanualofstyle.org, but that requires you to be online while you're sitting there with your hardcover copy going "Dammit, I know it's in here somewhere...." Having the entire text on a local disk will induce euphoria equaled only by the euphoria of having (hypertext!)
Web 11 on disk.
If they'll just make CD-ROM versions of the good
Roget's and a fully updated
Star Trek Encyclopedia, I'll be in writer/copyeditor heaven.
(
Words into Type would be nice, too, although I've always found the
WiT index to be more compatible with the way my mind works.)
