CDROMS in Print/Fail

Oh Oh! I've forgotten what it is I was supposed to be discussing with Shogo!
Hi Neil — long time no see. My impression was that, apart from distributors, most the "marketplace" black market or flea-market or whatever its status may be, was people selling the largely useless or unwanted titles they got in a bundle with their drive. One title in the bundle was…
Perseus does run on the Mac, but also on CD-ROM and videodisc player. An early and very forward-looking application, and a cult classic for the humanities. I believe this is an excellent resource for the classicists, but appears to require a substantial stand-alone workstation. Not over-priced, either — hardly a…
Although everyone else mentions re-keying (that may even be available from the authors themselves, since they may have created their papers with wordprocessing systems) OCR may also be a possibility (especially since you have already gone half way with your scanning). And another option is to offer page images AND…

OK, that clears THAT up — I thought I was going crazy for a while when reading your other reply, but then realized it wasn't necessary to worry since you can't go crazy when you already ARE, right? Forgot there were two authors. Does that mean you each get $0.25…

Kind words about OPA report? Only an objective report — we're professionals here, I review these things for a living you know! (Well, a not particularly lucrative part-time job, anyway). I thought I saw "Dr" in front of your name somewhere??? Well, let's assume that Compuserve CDROM Forum can issue…
OPA BOOK REVIEW
Message #49559
I have uploaded a book review of the OPA Spring 1993 Executive Summary market research summary to the "General" Library under the name STATS.TXT. This review is a preprint from the upcoming May/June of Canadian CD-ROM News.
I actually faxed the publisher the other day, as soon as I heard about it, so I guess they will be sending a sample copy along. Also, it turns out that Jan Schwenk signed me up for a subscription, so I guess I'm in fine shape. But, are they giving…

I accidentally uploaded a file to the "Industry News" library twice. The second one was renamed to MPC2.TXT — it should really be removed, and the Compuserve Helpdesk was not able to this themselves and said I should send a message to you.
MPC PLATFORM
Message #49275
I have uploaded a small file to the INDUSTRY NEWS section called "MPC" which describes three important announcements that the MPC Marketing Council has made during the past week, along with some unsolicited opinion on the news. The opinions may be out to lunch, but the news is definitely oif…
The May 17 announcement by Multimedia PC Marketing Council actually marks two developments: (a) the Level 2 Specification for "enhanced" multimedia computing, and (b) plans for converting the MPC trademark to an MPC certification mark. Both appear to be welcome developments that respond to concerns voiced in the literature and…
#MPC SPEC
Message #48860
Is everyone aware that MPC Marketing Council announced "Level 2" spec on May 17? It's a 486 with double-spin 400ms drive. I can post more detail if it's of interest. (Hi Rich — I send this to you because I don't know how to post an original message to the…
