Contact the Superintendent of Documents, P.O, Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954 and ask about the SIGCAT catalog that's due out shortly. I've ordered one for $11 and it's supposed to have EVERY CD-ROM published by the U.S. Government and its various departments.
#46168- #US CONGRESSIONAL RECORD? Message #46306
From: James Colburn CDROM Forum · General April 19, 1993 8:42 PM
Yes, the Congressional Record IS available on CD-ROM. It is, however, a little back logged. They've JUST released the first one for the 99th Congress (I think that's 1988) and it's available for about $45 on two disks. I know this because I saw it offered at the Government Printing…

Keep in touch with the GPO sisnce they're supposed to have the next revision (laws in force as of 1/1/92) out in the summer. I'm not a lawyer but for $30 it's a hell of a lot of fun to browse through.

#43930 Which Encyclopedia? Message #44204
From: James Colburn CDROM Forum · Multimedia March 26, 1993 6:56 PM
Maybe so, but at a recent local computer show here in the D.C. area I was offered the Grolier for $55, the Comptons (non-MPC) for $80 and the Comptons inter-active for $149. Check your local paper for a show/swap meet.

Always try to remember that Microsoft invented the phrase "Vaporware." They are notorius for announcing a product's due date in order to kill the competition and then taking their own sweet time about bringing ti to market.

Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on the current crop of CD-ROM encyclopedias? I have the choice of Groliers @ $55, Comptons Multimedia @ $80 or Comptons Interactive @ $149… Is the Interactice that much better? I more interested in written content and still pictures than in moving demos…
#Okay for PhotoCD? Message #41571
From: James Colburn CDROM Forum · Drives/Hardware March 1, 1993 6:48 PM
Hi there. I'm new to the forum and I have (what I think is) a simple question. I've got a Mitsumi CD-ROM drive (it's on your list in KODAK.TXT) with a …SYS driver of the correct date, and CorelDraw's Mosaic (that claims to read PhotoCD ROM's. Is this all that…
