I quit! I was trying to stay out of this, but I can't. If you think the OUP prices are high, then you needed to see what the "legit" line prices are. $1500 for one year of a major market newspaper on ROM. Your sociaistic ideals that the consumer has…
Any serious competition would wipe out their sales? I got a great idea why don't you try and be that serious competition? Does it not strike you as interesting that there is no serious competition? Could it be that the mammoth proportions make serious competition something that is not to…
Gee as a company whose biggest clients are like myself OEM's I don't find that weird at all. Does your disk drive have a name on the front of it? Frank Harris Computron, Ltd.

Your statement really does not hold true in that in order to meet MPC criteria, it "must use less than 40%" of the bandwidth, so therefore the use of a 386 or 486 really makes no difference. Frank Harris Computron, Ltd.
My two cents come to this. How many $99 street price products have you come upon that contain the amount of information that CE V.5.0 contain? Can you tell me of an equivalent atlas product for the $40 that we sell the US and World Atlas for? Name an equivalent…
We rep a line of CDROM for laptop, by a company called interpreter. Frank Harris Computron, Ltd.

Your repeated representation that the 2s is not "fully MPC compatible" leaves muych to be desired. The product IS fully MPC compatible and handles animation and motion video adequately. I challenge you to find a more reliable product "for the money" on the market. While it is not multisession photocd…
if you expect 100% accuracy then I repeat my uneducated remark. As to a bett"more accurate " v.2, I challenge you to find a product that comes even close to the accuracy you find in DeLorme's product. Frank Harris Computron, Ltd.

Bill just to respond as a consumer and a distributor of over 500 titles that we sell to over 600 schools. DeLorme has an accuracy rating higher than any of their "map" competitors. As far as there being mistakes in Indianapolis, guess what? THere are mistakes in Chicago, Orlando and…
Why not MPC compatibility? With the only requirements for MPC compatibile\ty being speed and throughput, explain why so adamantly against MPC? Street prices are in the $200 price on drives that meet spec. As a matter of fact I find it hard to find a non MPC drive. Frank PS…
usually not from installing the floopy, there is a litle switch that is depressed when you insert a disk in the drive that is released when you remove the disk. It is possible that this is stuck. The other problem sounds like either dirt or alignment. Frank
However be aware that the program does not give unlimited access to those records. Once you reacha a certain count it locks you out of the program until you pay a royalty! Frank Computron Ltd.
Go for it I sold over three thousand disks last week. How many did you sell? Until Richard learns that you cannot give "THE PRICE OF THE DAY", his product is useless to me. There are many excellent shareware discs on the market, with many more coming. To be honest…
Wait and see! IF you can wait usually there is more discounting going on. For instance we sell the Grolier Encyclopedia (Multimedia) for $94 retail, while the update from Groliers is more expensive. Frank Harris Computron, Ltd.
Random crashes have been reported. As to which apps are not compatible from the info I have received, the crashes are too random for identification. For that reason we recommend the SoundBlaster Pro. Frank
I recommend a conversation with Larry BOden at Nimbus. He has an 800 number, is reliable, trustworthy, an all around good guy! Frank
THe disc that we sell … PRO Phone does all of the above. Was released in August of theis year, and has unlimited access. All for $179 Frank
His CIS ID# is 100021,2631 Frank Harris
How about sound works? Frank
Let's see which to answer first. The difference between the units is speed. If you are a speed junkie spend the bucks. If not don't the interrupts are not a problem as SB can use 10 freeing up 5. THe PAnasonic and the sony use IRQ, however there is a…
There is a gentleman named Mushqat Ahmed that sells over there and he has a very good catalog with very fair pricing. Frank
As of right now PAS is having problems with Windows. All of the cards support CDROM (or vice-versa) if they meet the MPC spec. Nicer CDROM (hmmm) does that mean prettier or do you have a need for either PhotoCD or XA? if not then a 380 ms system is…
Yep it is. Frank

NOt off hand, however I know the group that disburses it is out of Pueblo, CO. Frank
Let me know when you are ready. Did you ever find your bagels? Frank
I disagree. If you hold out the list to be an authoritative source, and refer people to it, as the Sysop it is incumbent upon you , and the OPA to update it as frequently as possible. Considering your unfamiliarity with a number of the distributors that we saw at…
We also have a 16 page catalog with over 250 items of CDROM. even though the SYSOP neglected to include our name on his precious list. Frank Leave me email to receive a copy.
Not true… We take our 1.6 gig drive all the way to letter R, and then have S T U CdROM Drives. Frank
According to my sources that is available from the gov't direct, but they are out of stock for the time being. Frank
In the 600 range, if you are looking for Drive only (not sound card as well, I recommend the Sony 535. In the event that you want the card included in that price I recommend the Creative Labs MM Kit. If you want prices, send me email. Frank
The one we sell the most of is Creative Labs Multimedia Kit. Sale price is $549. Has everything you need except speakers Frank
THe Prom involved is much different. BTW the pioneer is in the area of $995. Frank

However that is diametrically opposed to the info that I received at CD ROM EXPO as well as diametrically opposed to what I have in stock. For the record due to the uncertainty of pricing levels and all this ado about version designation we unanimously decided to drop Night Owl…

Is it not a little presumptuous and rude to dump your announcement in every message base. If someone is interested would the first 5 or ten have been enough?
