From your note, I couldn't tell how far you'd searched for CD-ROM titles. I think many of us are waiting for more releases and greater variety. I get the feeling that many of the titles we're seeing now have been rushed to market. In several cases they are simple straight transfers of floppy-based programs to CD-ROM. It's a good sign that Egghead and Software Etc are carrying CD-ROM, but they do seem to have just the same two dozen titles. MS products, games, a few reference works and books on CD-ROM. There are quite a few offerings in special professional areas though and I'd expect that to grow. For example, Sweet's (a division of McGraw-Hill) publishes a product catalog that architects use to specify building materials. Sweet's has developed a CD-ROM version of their multi-volume catalog. I know similar things are going on in the legal and medical profession.
