I have heard that the best supplier of CD-ROMs in Europe is UNICA in England. They have thousands of different titles in stock and supply disks worldwide. They can be contacted on +44 (0)61 429 0241 or by fax on +44 (0)61 477 2910.

I phoned to buy some CD-ROMs from CD-Xpress, namely the Desktop Library, whoever answered the phone said that they only sold CD-ROMs, not desktops !! Beware he who sells what the wife wouldn't like. UNICA are the people for me in CD-ROM across Europe. They had them in stock, answered politely and knowledgeably and despatched the same day. They are on (0)61 429 0241 or fax (0)61 477 2910, with a 44 from outside the UK. By the way. I have heard that they guarantee to beat anyone on price on any CD.

Hi, Desktop Library had been discontinued due to a minor problem. Bob Bruce pulled it out of the market. There are some other compatible products. If you are interested, request our catalog and you may see some title maybe interested for you. TTYL GroupWare

You're so right, Lance! I've bought CD-ROMs from Unica on several occasions and they've always been great. Their prices are certainly lower than Kimtech or Optech's and I will probably be calling them again real soon. My biggest fear with Unica is that they sell their CDs so cheap that they will go out of business because they aren't making enough margin. The MD at Unica must be stupid to set his prices so low.

Phil, You would certainly get good dicounts if you buy from LANCE AT UNICA. Really, Phil I did not think you would conspire with lance to deceive the public, especially as you supply him with 'Danger Hot Stuff'. You did not take the oportunity to plug your own CD, so I have done it for you. Still Best Regards Mushtaq Ahmed CD-Xpress (not hiding behind suppliers or false customers)

Mushtaq, Cool off man, Lance I are just having some fun with you! Please consider this all a practical joke, OK. Of course, I like Lance because he is advertising our new Hot Stuff II CD-ROM like crazy. And you are right, I don't have to buy CDs from Lance, he gives them to me for free! Seriously though, what's your address so I can send you an evaluation copy of Hot Stuff II. It is the finest collection of animated computer graphics and Sound Blaster demos compiled to date. I think you'll like it!

Dear Lance, I just phoned Unica at the number you supplied and asked who was Mr. Lance Davis, she kindly informed me that he is the Managing Director of UNICA. The very same person who has been singing praises of Unica on various BBSs and here on CompuServe, posed as a very satisfied customer of Unica. I was surprised at you intelligence level and very saddend to discover, that your company (Unica) is finding it so hard to get customers, that you the MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY have to stoop to such levels to drum up business. Happily business is booming at CD-Xpress despite your stupid antics. This just confirms to me that I did the right thing by starting CD-Xpress to confront unscruplous people like you, who have been screwing the general public for so long.

Do you know Ismail Arslangiray? You two should get together and form "PARANOIDS R US" if you started selling CD's to confront unscrupulous people then you probably won't have much time to sell CD's Get A Life. Thank you and have a nice day!

I am not "Paranoid", I just stated the facts. Mushtaq

Isn't this sort of thing – i.e. one person who runs a company claiming to be a totally different and "satisfied" customer sort of unscrupulous? At the very least, it sounds deceptive and shady…. I applaud your bringing these types of sales tactics to light… Dick Copits SMART CHOICES P.O. Box 393 Englewood, Ohio 45322
