Point cleared $34,729 in total, after deducting expenses from $107,000 income. The second phase was funded by Brøderbund Software.

We had a half-finished product they respected. They gulped, put money where their dreams were, and signed over a $100,000 advance to complete the Electronic Catalog. “Advance” means that they paid us (in installments as work was completed) in advance of the royalties we could expect to earn from sales of this disc. If the Electronic Catalog was successful and sold more than about 8,000 discs then we would earn royalties beyond our advance. -- part contents for background part 5 ----- text ----- 3 of 8 -- part contents for background part 23 ----- text ----- • WHOLE EARTH • INTRODUCTION • ABOUT THE DISC • Staff and Business -- part contents for background part 34 ----- text ----- card id 22316 -- part contents for background part 35 ----- text ----- card id 22789 -- part contents for background part 36 ----- text ----- stack "WHOLE EARTH" stack "INTRODUCTION" card id 64901 card id 57549 -- part contents for background part 31 ----- text ----- card id 57549 -- part contents for background part 32 ----- text ----- card id 44712 -- part contents for background part 33 ----- text ----- card id 48259
