Forcing labeling is not censorship. It is informed purchasing. You referred earlier to shovelware. That is an apt description; they just shovel the junk on the disk. There is seldom a folder inside with any kind of description and almost never a description or list on the outside that can be read through the shrink wrap. Are you listening Walnut Creek? We just want to know what we are buying. Period. There are now enough offerings that we can start to be a little choosier. I eagerly await your review disk since the manufacturers won't tell me what they are selling. I am still interested in being one of your reviewers, but have held off asking for a disk to review until I see some of the ones from your first offering and get a better feel for your format. You have my address. If you would like to send me a xerox of a couple of your favorites, I have a couple of diskettes that I already own that I would like to review (both bad & good). You didn't say, but are you going to be publishing multiple reviews of the same items to allow for differing opinions? (i.e. _Mammals_ The whole world seems to love it. I hate it.) Perhaps you will have a letters to the editor? thanks, chris
