a long list of electronic titles from his shop.

For us at Whole Earth the attractions of CD–ROM were multiplying. First was the lure of exploring a new medium. We had pioneered      “desktop publishing” fifteen years before most of the world, and we yearned for the old freedom of working in a form not yet burdened by accepted practices. Then came the size problems. That 5 1/2 pound Next Whole Earth Catalog showed us we couldn’t get any larger in print. It made a dent in your chest to read in bed. But cutting out good stuff — good products, good quotes from books and magazines, intriguing side issues — grieved us constantly. In CD–ROM we found a medium which was both larger and smaller in just the right ways. We could jam in all the good stuff, and the “book” would fit in a jacket pocket.
