For all my bitching, the worst part is that Walnut Creek is BETTER than most!
What I want though is some idea of what is on the disk. I know that the
directories alone would exceed the available space on the crystal box. But I
want some idea of what I am buying. There is a disk I thought was yours and may
be the one that sounds like you 😉 that is "Internet Software". Is this
Waffle, UUCP or someother uucp emulator or is it binaries that have been
distributed on the internet? You are reaching the point that the record
companies reached decades ago. There are now enough disks that we are not
thankful just to have something to run but can choose only the best of the
offerings. Thank you for bringing your price down to the point where I can
gamble a little and try things. I cannot afford to try them all. I will
continue to add many disks to my collection. Now I am ready for data and not
just more shareware. I have purchased the US Code from the US Printing Office
and I have the ProPhone from ProCD. I am contemplating the US Coast and
Geodetic Survey map disks 4 for $200. I have the _Greatest Books Collection_
from World Library Inc. although that one doesn't have all I want. I know I am
speaking for a minority. I want my CDs to be a ready access to supplemental
knowledge and not merely another source of Gee Whiz. I have a pile of Walnut
Creek discs on my desk and I hope to add to them. thank you, chris
