Cool.

How about the topic of money and vacation time. Current salaries (and the increase thereof?), salary expectations, increase vacation time periods, etc.

Thanks

The PDFs are big. I crashed trying to load the first one.

How about some text-only versions?

Takes too long to load.

The links are not just my column but the entire KOTESOL magazine in PDF format.

They are big (80-odd megs each) and I suspect that they weren't prepared for the demand and choked the server when they published the links.

BEST option is to right click the link and save the file. When it is downloaded you can open and read it.

Depending on time of day and demand it can take from 10-40 minutes to download each one of them.
