#Free CD-ROMs please help

So what makes a talented, good looking and successful guy like you so
insecure? Your work is as good as it gets around here but I have
absolutely no desire or need to use you to promote me.
Doug, when you turn on your PC in the morning the floppy drive light comes
on just like it does on millions of PCs all over the world. That industry
standard floppy doesn't hold much info when it comes to graphics. Now
there is CD-ROM and we have the opportunity to distribute en-mass fantastic
amounts of information.
All I'm trying to do is fill up a CD with some graphics. My project is a
compilation. Nothing more nothing less. I'm donating my time in lining up
contributions, storing the data and going up to Wales for the day to press
the CD. Of course all the demos I have ever produced will be on it. Rea at
Animated Systems wants a directory, so does Steve at Enlighten. They know
perfectly well that I have no intention of claiming their work to be my
own. Anything that goes on the CD will have a credit to the creator in a
README.DOC file.
No work from GRAFX will be on this CD.
Think for a moment about the insecurity of someone who goes on-line
publicly, insults someone, calls them names and calls them insecure.
Insecurity has nothing to do with it Phil. I just don't need you doing my
promotion for me, that's all. If Glauberman and Rae need the extra press,
great! I would just rather have a handle on my own. You should probably
know by now that I pass around far more information about what I do than
anyone else in the industry. I publish a newsletter with information about
what we do in it and I tell people how to do clever things in GRASP. I
speak openly (except for NDA and trade secrets info of course) at
gatherings. I don't think GRAFX's reputation depends on insecurity and
secrecy.
Geesh, Phil. This sounds like the old days when you were at BR and I was
hyping GRASP! I think you are going to have great project and I wish you
well. I just choose not to participate.
Maybe I was a little bit hot-headed. The reason that I wrote in the tone I
did was based on my interpretation of your message. My recollection is
that you accused me of trying to create a situation were I could claim
other people's work as my own. I don't promote myself that way and took
great offense at your suggestion that I did. I apologize for that crack
about insecurity… it was out of line…
I'd like to send you some of my stuff. Probably can do within a week then
it's up to the postman! Will that be sufficient time? I didn't read of a
timeline.
