Signed up (via FAX) as a "Pay as You Go" subscriber to Nautilus on Dec 28th of last year. Have not heard or received anything from them since that time. Do they issue the CD's at any specific time…. or how do they operate? Would be glad of info'. Regards, HILARY

Hello Hilary. You will no doubt receive the next volume that is due out anytime now. You'll receive a disc every month around mid to end month. I have been a subscriber for over a year now and I think that you will enjoy receiving it every month. Once you do receive it and find that you like it you should check into changing your subscription to yearly. It would be cheaper that way and you also get the nifty binder to keep the discs in. Also welcome to the Nautilus family. Kb

Can you tell me about the magazine? I may be interested in subscribing. Thanx Peter Szymonik

Hi Peter. Can I tell you about the magazine? How long do you have? First my personal opinon is that it is an great investment. I have gotten alot of information from it and have enjoyed it immensely. Nautilus is a multimedia magazine in CD format. It has music, last month it was Beethoven Sonata Op. 27 No.2. A great presentation of the Nutcracker Suite, some Chanukah music. In the MM section there is an onging column by Ron Wodaski who wrote Multimedia Mania (which I highly recommend) in fact his book comes with a CD and it has a demo of Nautilus. So if you have a CDRom you should pick it up, it is availible through Waldens here on CI$. Back to Nautilus, there is a column on C/C++ programming. There is a section on games and entertainment, Anti-Virus solutions, software demos. There is always shareware and freeware programs on a variety of areas. In the MM section besides Ron's column there is information on hardware, MM Marketing Council and a MM products catalog. On Dec disks there was TT fonts, updated Media Vision Drivers, information on MIDI and MM sound. And too much more to go into. I just came off nights and things are starting to blur. But it is a great magazine and I think you would enjoy it. Kb

For new subscribers in North America the subscription is 119.40 US$ plus 30.00 shipping for a total of 137.40. Call 1-800-637-3472. They have two plans, one is pay as you go and the other is a yearly subscription. The yearly subscription is the cheaper way to go. Happy to see that you are such a easy sell. I need all the brownie points I can get. Hope you enjoy. Kb

Peter, Kevin has already sold you, but Nautilus is a great value. It gives you a new CDROM disc to play with every month for only $10, so that you have plenty of things to do with your $600 CDROM drive, without buying $30-$100 discs. It also gives you lots of files that test your system, so that you will have to go out and buy a 486 machine, like I just did.<g> Lynne

I already have the 486, so I guess I'm all set except for the subscription 🙂 Peter

Hi Hilary. I will check with Customer Service to verify your order. Chances are your first disc is the January Vol. 3-1 issue. It should arrive sometime this week. The PC/windows version are set to arrive the 3rd full week of each month. I will double check and get back to you. Sincerely Kate Rowland, Nautilus Technical Support

My subscription ran out in December, but I got no renewal notice. Or, at least, the Post Awful never delivered one to me. Can you get me a renewal form? David Gleason, 5724 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, CA 90028.
