#52788– #Encyclopedia Britannica Message #52804

From: larry buckmaster CDROM Forum · Forum Suggestions July 15, 1993 11:09 AM

Any idea how much the index costs? That's not a bad idea…combining a searchable, cross-referenced index with the printed volumes. Best of both worlds, really.

#CDROM at GPO? Anyone? Message #52226

From: larry buckmaster CDROM Forum · Forum Suggestions July 7, 1993 8:34 AM

I understand that the Congressional Review can now be purchased on CDROM from the Government Printing Office. I've tried calling the Washington DC number, but get nothing but busy signals. Does anyone know if these cdroms are available from some second source? Or what other materials might be available on…

Yeah, but monosodium glutamate makes EVERYTHING taste better.

#44196– Reviews? Comparisons? Message #44199

From: larry buckmaster CDROM Forum · General March 26, 1993 5:52 PM

there is a place for critical reviews of CDROMs. It's maintained by Jan Schwenk, who has a presence here in this Forum (his ppn is 70053,1702). He also maintains a bbs where … probably hundreds… of reviews are stored in ASCII format. I'm one of his reviewers (albeit one behind…

Ohhhhhh! Tell us about the interface please. Are you running SCSI out of a parallel port? OR……?

#38205– Magazines on CD-ROM? Message #38417

From: larry buckmaster CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 January 29, 1993 12:22 AM

I have a sub to CS and I like it. But the service leaves much to be desired. I recently downgraded from a LAN version to a STANDALONE version. But it's been two months since I got a disk. They kept calling me up, telling me "the standalone version won't…

#36115– CINEMANIA is GREAT! Message #36146

From: larry buckmaster CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 January 6, 1993 10:06 PM

Yes, and it's missing a few people. I wanted to find a biography on GABBY HAYES and found none (although I did find him as a cast member in Roy Rogers films). But then I found there was NO reference to Helen Hayes! Anyone else find notable omissions besides me?

Heck, I was in Egghead and saw a $12.99 price tag on the same caddie.

#28169– #DAK – where are you? Message #28209

From: larry buckmaster CDROM Forum · General October 7, 1992 6:11 PM

Bryan, I had a friend who recently called to order the PhoneDisc from DAK. He was told it was discontinued! Surely not….?

Your comfort with the English language is evident. May I ask you what your native language was?

One of the advantages of digitized dictionaries is the ease of spell checking. I counted six errors in your rather long message (smile).

#CDROM in a Laptop Message #14118

From: larry buckmaster CDROM Forum · General October 28, 1991 10:17 AM

Anyone know of any? I'm about to hie myself to my Computer Select cdrom and feed it the right keywords, but wondered if there were any experience with a CDROM-equipped laptop on this forum? Or of any quick way of adding a cdrom player to a laptop. Since most laptops…

LC890 Utility Message #7649

From: larry buckmaster Adobe · Printers/Hardware January 4, 1989 11:31 PM

David, I've uploaded LC890.ARC to this forum. It'll take a couple of days I think, the sysop has to take a look at it first. Now if we can only get a utility to switch some of the other things…. like which bin the printer should use.
