Steve,
It's not very likely that CompuServe will consider CDs for the Amiga. It's not
very expensive to get the CDs manufactured once you have all the data but it
has taken a lot of time and money to compile everything for the first CD. I
know some of the people who are working on that project. I used to work for
CompuServe in Germany and will start with CompuServe here as soon as I have
been granted permanent residency and I will be happy to tell them that Amiga
users want the CDs too. However, I doubt that CompuServe will be willing to put
in the amount of work necessary, even if someone would volunteer to compile
enough stuff for free. Actually, I doubt that CompuServe will make any profit
at all with the CDs. It's more just a service and the price of the CD does not
cover the money put into it. If you can find out how many Amiga users have a
CD-rom drive and have evey one send a message to them (70006,101 or GO
FEEDBACK) there may be a chance thought. I have a CD-rom drive myself and would
also like to have Amiga-CDs
