I need information about Soney Laser Library CD-Rom for use in the classroom. Anyone with information on how effective it is and ease of use please communicate. In networking computers, what is a better network, MAC's, IBM's or compatibles, or a mixture. I do not know much about this kind of thing but really need to learn. If you can also name some sources I can look up and read I would appreciate it very much./exit

Jean, I have tried Novell and other networks but for ease of use and simplicity with using CD-ROMs I think that you should be looking at Lantastic from Artisoft. Use IBM or compatibles. Have a look at the Artisoft forum GO ARTISOFT and get them to send you some magazine articles. It really is a very good networking system. As far as networking products, look at CD-SHARE. Tom

We use a 7-drive CBIS tower unit on a Novell network, but we're reliant on IBM to help get it running, since we don't have the technical staff, either.

Contact Online Computer Systems at (800) 922-9204 or (301) 428-3700 and ask for information on networking CD-ROMs using IBM compatible computers in a educational/classroom environment. You may be able to get a specific reference on the Sony Laser Library CD-ROM product as well. Chris Magyar
