>>> Bill, take a look at page 41 in the latest (February 23) PC MAGAZINE
and let me know what you think of our disc. Thanks<<<<
I think you've got either a crystal ball or, more likely, an advance
page, because the February 9 issue just hit my mailbox two days ago. <g>
I can tell by your comments, responses to others' comments, and
general attitude that you are surely on the right track, (not that there is
only one right track) in taking an innovative tilt at this. The medium is
worth more than the ASCII with a few .Wav files that many makers are
dumping onto disc, and you are obviously way beyond this. As far as
economics, you sure as hell deserve to make a decent dollar for putting
your venture capital on the line and coming up with a good, saleable
product. If you can attain the $29 price point, that will be outstanding.
May the good guys win!
And I get a distinct feeling that you had people with little knowledge
of the current state of CD's and PC's coming up with your concepts. If you
didn't, I'm going to sell the idea to somebody else.
I'll be sure and look for your disc in my next PC Mag, (I'll be a
ruthlessly honest critic <g>), and wish you all the best- you certainly
seem to be well focused at this time. Again, if I can be of any help,
please E-Mail me. And if it's not in the PC-Mag coverage -(let me guess-
page in the 40's = First Looks), let us know where we can tell interested
customers where they can buy your offerings…
