Welcome
from Allan at The Online
Bible
New Zealand.
As
of 1 April 2008 we have had a small change of name. We are no longer
a registered charitable trust as the Government has made it uneconomic for us to
continue to operate that way. So the trustees have agreed to close the trust and
I will operate this as a personal account. As far as you, my valued clients and
customers are concerned, there is no difference. The "profits" from
this venture will now be taxed, but we will be able to claim back from the IRD
one-third of all the amounts given away.
I
was in Nelson on the weekend of 29 March 2008 and ran a tutorial in
The Online Bible at the Richmond New Life Church. I think all the small group of
us learned something new. Thanks to each person for coming!
The
version of the Online Bible on the web is 2.10.09. Click link below to access this.
Please
note our new e-mail address:

VISTA.
If you are using this platform, please note the following:
From version, 2.10.07, a warning
message is added, when Microsoft Vista is detected, telling you how to cope with
Vista.
The
following notes may also be helpful:
First of all - you MUST reboot the computer after installing
a program in Vista.
I have found that all my Vista
problems seem to come from The User Account Control function being turned on
as the default.
If you go to Start - Control Panel - User Accounts you can
turn this security feature off.
This allows you to use older (non-Microsoft approved)
programs without getting the nuisance prompt but more importantly from our
point of view is that it allows you to Install and Uninstall Online Bible
and delete folders that are normally blocked.
If you like the extra security that User Account Control
gives, it is easily turned back on in Control Panel.
If you don't like the idea of disabling this, right clicking on the Online
Bible icon will allow you to open the program in administrator mode. (Dave
Pohl, Canada)
I have done this with a friend's new computer and it
works fine - Allan
What
is on the Online Bible CD? In the initial pack –
the $65.00 one – there are two CDs. Disk 1 has all the English Bibles (at
least 20*, plus some New Testaments), Greek and Hebrew texts, commentaries, maps,
books and other reference material, and Disk 2 has the “foreign language”
Bible versions. Also in the initial pack is a complete list of what is on Disk
1, and a Getting Started Manual. These come in a double DVD pack.
*
AV (JKV), NKJV, RSV, The Message, J B Phillips' NT, ESV, Interlinear Greek,
Weymouth, BBE, GWV, Septuagint and more.
Does
the Online Bible contain “The Message”? Yes.
What
versions do I need to pay for? The 20 plus
mentioned above are included in the original price. The following versions are on the CD but require an unlock code
(obtainable from me) to make
them available:
New
International Version $20.00 – British and American spelling.
New American Standard Version $20.00
New Revised Standard Version $7.00
New Living Translation $7.00
All four of the above released in one code $45.00. You save $9.00
Amplified Bible $20.00
The CEV is available on a separate CD, compatible with The Online Bible. $20.00.
Other
works that are locked:
Theological
Wordbook of the Old Testament $20.00
What The Bible Teaches $28.50
Pocket PC access code $24.00. You have access to some material, but this
code permits you to transfer royalty versions to your pocket PC - provided you
have the right to do so! That is, you must have access codes for these versions
on your desktop or laptop PC. Ask me to send you a doc file with information
about the Online Bible and your Pocket PC. I had a call from a friend recently.
He was trying toi install the Online Bible on a Pocket PC that was using a
version of Windows prior to 2003. If you want to do that, send me an e-mail and
I will get you the details on how to do it,
I already
have an Online Bible. How
can I upgrade what I already have?
If you have a version before Version 2.00 (like The Word, or Version 6 – which
is really old!) you should purchase an upgrade CD. This will cost you
$33.00 for Disk 1. If you want both CDs, the cost is $41.00. You need to be
registered to obtain the CDs at the upgrade price. Check with me.
If
you have a Version 2.00 or later, go to the web site (tab below) and download
the latest program install.exe file. This will update your program, but not the
data. You need the latest CD to update the data.
If you have a version before Version 2.00, you really need a new CD.
How
can I listen to the Bible being read from my Online Bible? Ask for an
audio CD of Alexander Scourby reading the Authorised Version. While you have
your Online Bible open, you can hear Scourby read either just the verse you are
working on, or from that verse.
A
final word: Check out the testimonials from satisfied Online Bible
users. Go to the top of this page and click on Testimonials.
