Don, I think if you read my message again, I was talking about CD-Roms in
general as having inflated prices. Take a look sometime at some of the CD's
available for the IBM and Mac community, and not the special "Bundle"
deals. If you buy them individually, some of them can cost a small fortune.
Some of the more expensive ones are those where they have taken a
government data tape, transferred the data to CD, wrote a simple text
search engine, and selling the CD for over $500. Now in my book, that is
inflated. Especially considering the fact that you can send a tape and have
it mastered with an initial run of 100 CD's for less than $2000.
