Are any of the CDROM's capable of displaying CD photos on the computer screen as advertised by Kodak with its CD photo player which is displayed on the TV screen. Also does anyone know where I can purchase a CD which contains legal laws related to law enforcement such as the New York State Penal law, Vehicle and Traffic law, Criminal Procedure law, ABC law etc. Any and all responses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Tom: As for photos, there are 100's, if not 1000's, of CDROM titles which contain photographic images. The only real limitation is the capability of your computer system to display them. If you are interested in drives that are currently compatible with Photo-CD, check out the "KODAK-.TXT" file in Lib #7. There will be many more such drives available soon, after announcements expected at COMDEX. Hopefully, someone else will be able answer your other question. You might also inquire at the LAW Forum.

Tom, There is a CD of NY Appellate caselaw out. (that's all that's on the disk) I can chase it down if you're interested. OTOH, if you're interested in a real state like New Hampshire, rather than the bush leagues<g>, we publish all that stuff on a CD. Frank

Frank, Believe me after this recent election I have my doubts about New York. I may be too conservative to live here. Thanks for the info. Any New Hampshire real estate info.??? Thanks, Tom

Tom, If you mean on the disk, we've got the statutes, and the '80s boom produced some Supreme Court caselaw for the first time since the 1850s. (Which is going to force us to go back to the year zero—real estate cases actually cite 19th century decisions here). If you're asking about buying real estate, the answer is cash will get you anything, very cheaply, but forget a mortgage, the banks are buying savings bonds and paying interest to match. (one _might_ write a 50% mortgage on a piece of property it's foreclosed on.) Frank
