Well I made the move. My LOGOS study package arrived a few days ago and I am stunned at what it can do for sermon/teaching preparation. I never would have imagined such a study tool and would recommend it to anyone who is contemplating such a move in theological resources.
To my amazement this system functions as a personal library as well as a study tool right on your computer. Thanks to the tips from Challies.com, Adrian Warnock, and Between two Worlds I was not only informed on this product but lead to another site, StillTruth.com, where you can download many free public domain books by such authors as Charles Spurgeon, Abraham Kuyper, John Calvin (all of his commentaries etc.), and many others. They also have many Puritan and Reformer resources which you can add for free to your LOGOS library. I am truly amazed and truly humbled by such a resource.
I just though I would share a bit of my excitement.

Mark, which one did you get? Would you mind "burning" it and send it to me?
Thanks,

Seriously, which one did you get? I have been debating this for years and may have to finally pull the trigger. I was thinking "Original Language", because I feel like it makes the most sense for what I enjoy. Not a huge fan of reading extensively off of the computer...
Anyway, more of your thoughts are appreciated....
Ill e-mail you some thoughts on this.
I have never tried Logos, although it looks quite good. I have been using Bibleworks since 1996 or 1997, and have not found I needed more. The library of books would be helpful for doing cut and paste (assuming it allows that), but I prefer actual books that I can read, underline, comment, put post-it notes in, and the whole bit. Not to mention I can carry a book where ever I go, while even a laptop is limited to where you have power once the battery runs down.
Thanks rileysowner for the blog references.
