Aw, shucks, John. Twarn't nuthin', just a little brain dump. It's nice to see you here, too – I was feeling real out of it when I first logged on, because the onliest person I recognized was that young whippersnapper Matt Seitz. It's nice for Rich to offer a forum…
John, my last place of refuge from your jokes is now violated. I'm a broken woman. Tell 'em about the "Dairy Products of the Holy Land". Dana
Rich, it's not corporate life, it's being out of the mainstream. I get lots of leads from the book and my column, and (sorry, cat on keyboard) I've had to give 'em all away because my employer serves such a tiny little niche market. It's frustrating. Also, Fort Collins is…
Thanks, Dr. Hutchison, for the dignified recognition. I knew you'd get even with me someday for making you blush about non-returned phone calls. Perhaps we can meet when you return from San Fran (you know the natives hate it when you say that, but it's better than FRISCO). Dana Parker,…

Roger, I see that you DO reply to E-mail messages on this forum. I have a client who is interested in your new compression driver, a regional sales rep for our book who needs to talk to you, and some REALLY JUICY gossip you might appreciate. Give me a call…

Steve, I've been trying to call you to let you know I am looking at other options for employment. With your extensive industry knowledge and contacts (stroke, stroke) you must get offers all the time – but I know you're too happy with Todd to consider them. I've gotten a…
I work fro Optical Publishing, Inc. In Fort Collins, CO., and we do write CD-ROM software. Our areas of expertise include handling LARGE amounts of data (our largest database is 4.58 Gigs, which we compress to 1.96 Gigs and produce monthly for the Department of Defense). We are a service…

The High Sierra Group met in the HIgh Sierra Hotel and Casino, in Lake Tahoe California, in 1985. The mountains in Colorado are the Rockies.

CDROM Audio Question
Message #47685
Matt, as always, you may be right. However, CD-I Ready discs can include a data track before the audio tracks by extending the initial pregap. Audio players ignore this area and go right to the audio, but CD-I players will find and display the data. I 'm not sure if…

CDROM data bases
Message #47684
The Wall Street Jpurnal and New York Times are both available by subscription from UMI (University Microfilm). Scientific American Medicine is also available on disc. I would suggest that you get a copy (disc) of CD-ROMs In Print by Meckler (look in CD-ROM World mag available on newstands [D [D…

Lotus' CD Networker
Message #47683
Yes, I have. We had an evaluation copy, and we sent ti back because it only works on Netbios networks (or NOvell running Netbios emulator) and only with an Adaptec SCSI host adaptor [A [A Dana Parker

Yes, but then at least you'd be digressing on a CD-ROM topic. How about "political discussion"? [D [D [D/exit

Mary, sorry it took so long for me to reply. I was at a trade show. The book is available at B. Dalton's, Waldenbooks, Software Etc., and other bookstores. If they don't have it in stock (it's selling really well, so this is entirely possible), they can order it for…
I, of course, disagree. But then, that is my nature, to disagree. "I'm back" is misleading. Could be somebody who is looking for exactly what my company offers, and has found no solution yet. Whydon't you rename this thread "Digressions"? Dana
LMSI, in Colorado Springs, CO, is the ONLY US manufacturer (as far s I know) of CD-ROMdrives [D [D [DSorry, cat on the keyboard. This may not necessarily be the best drive, I like Toshibas myself, Dana Parker (LMSI is Laser Magnetic Storage International)
Well, I got my CD-I player, whish stanadard was announced in 1987 or therabouts, BEFORE Photo CD came out. Seems to me, if they wanted to that they were compatible, they (Kodak) would have made more of an effort to be compatible with the hardware and software that existed. I…
Where can I get TAPCIS? Regards, Dana
Gentlemen, thank you for your replies. I may have been hasty in my responses, but I appreciate your insight into Photo CD and it's place in the CD-ROM industry. I am in the position of teaching CD-ROM to potential publishers of CD-ROM, and it is very annoying to be interrupted…
I gathered that. Still, should Kodak claim that Photo CD works on CD-I when in fact it works marginally, at best? The heretofore unmentioned company (and by now we all know who it is) is, after all, the one that Kodak chose to help it gain entry to the compact…
Thanks you so much for the advice. I am very new to telecommunications and still trying to decide whether to get my own account. I am currentl using Bob Starrett's (my business partner) account, and the bill for this month will help me to decide. I tell you this so…
Thanks for the clarification, I think I can guess who the hold-out is. It's nice to hear an objective opinion from someone who isn't frothing at the mouth over Photo CD. I personally have serious misgivings about a "proprietary standard", which is an oxymoron of the most moronic order. I…
Can I jump in here? Last time I checked, there was an international standard waitin to be approved for appendable (multisession) or Orange Book media. It was proposed by the Frankfurt Group, and is the equivalent of the High Sierra Standard that was later approved by ISO as ISO 9660.…
I'm a little confused here. Is this a CD-ROM forum or an international politics forum?
Try Meridian Data, Inc. in Scotts Valley. They now bill themselves as "The CD-ROM Network Company" or something like that.
Greg, so nice to hear from you. As you know, I no linger work for Meridian. Ask Matt Seitz about Meridian's plans for Mac support. People have been asking for it for years. As you may NOT know, Meridian dropped their Mac CD-ROM publishing products a couple of years ago,…
CD Net comes as an integrated solution, which includes the "tower" of CD-ROM drives, with a CPU, SCSI controller, and network card, along with the software; or as a "software only" solution, which you can run on y your own hardware. All you need is a CPU (286-486), with any…
As a former, and admittedly disgrunltled, employee of Meridian Data, I still would like to recommend the CD Net solution. I have looked for a better alternative, but not found it. I wothhold my recommendation for other meridian products, but the CD Net is absolutly the BEST [D [Dwhen it…

Don't worry about sending a message to me that Bob would take wrong. Although he's had an account for several months, he ahs yet to post any kind of message. He's not a real communicative kind of guy, not like me, who you'd have a hard time getting to shut…
