----------------------- From: VINCE SORENSEN Number: 5355 To: JOHN ROMERO Date: 09/27/93 12:20p Subj: TIME ZONES Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ->Date: 09-25-93 (03:40) ->From: JOHN ROMERO ->I would just like to know why my order is taking so long? I sent the ->money to you three weeks ago and I haven't heard from you since. I ->think you want to be known for having slow or bad service. ->Thank you! Hello, John. It hasn't even been three weeks since you sent you letter, much less since we received it! It was postmarked the 9th, and by the time we received it, the special "while stocks last" that you ordered was out of stock. Normally at that point, we call and notify our customers as to what is happening. We did not, however, have your phone number yet. We re-ordered more, and when they arrived today, we not only sent them to you FedEx, entirely at our expense, we also sent you two more excellent CD-ROMs absolutely free with our apologies. I don't think we could have done anything else to alleviate the problem. Since we asked you for your phone number, we have received one phone call telling us what that was, two flames in this echo, and five phone calls from your number that consisted of a hang-up when we said "Hello?" - one of them at 3AM in the morning at our home! We try our best to keep our customers happy. Of course we don't want to be described in such a way that simply is not true - just as U.S. CD-ROM distributors can't help a minimum two-week turnaround when the post-office delivers a Canadian customer's order to them 10 days after it is mailed, we can't control what we can't control. We *recommend* that our U.S. customers call us using credit cards, and spend the little extra to use a courier service, but we will take orders however they arrive, and send them however the customer wishes they be sent. We even will have them shipped directly from within the U.S. if necessary. We do not cash cheques until orders have been sent, and we don't charge credit cards until the 1st of the following month. Shipments to Canadians now automatically include 2 day or less service, with insurance and package tracking. If anyone has any any problem with any of their purchases, we'll help. I believe these are positive *good* service points.

I tried Michellea Sorensen from Canada but as of right now they have taken my money and sent nothing. They won't even reply to my questions about my order. So what I need from you is a Catalog of all your CD's available with all the specials you offer. I'm mostly interested in adult and Shareware CD's. I also would like a catalog on whatever else you have to sell. It looks to me that you really try to satisfy your customers and also have very quick Service. That's very important. I will be looking foward to your catalog and doing alot of business with you. John Romero 2071 Waverly Circle Henderson, NV. 89014 Thank You --- GOMail v1.2 [92-0047] * Origin: Reservation Only!

I laugh at everybodys idea of the adult movie business too. It is a lot of work!!!! Oh no! there aren't going to make us shoot that scene again because the lighting wasn't quiet right or a couple of props were in the wrong place. I know most would say " thats unbelievable" buts if you haven't been there, you just don't know.Most guys would give anything to be in it for one day because they see the end product, but as you know, this is far far from what actually happens in a days shooting. I admire you for your business sense. Anybody can open a business but to keep it going through the legal maze of government regulations and local bureaucratic ordinances is got to be a miricle. The only people who make out are law enforcement and attorneys of the world. A few days ago, a bank robbery occurred. Down the street in a massage shop ,was a vice cop getting his you know what relaxed, then he took the technician to jail. If that cop had been on the street, maybe four people wouldn't have got hurt.

I was referring to the 'XXX' nature not the copyright issues. The attorneys told me there was a statute for the obscenity publishing as well. BJ>> And since BJ>> you've been meeting with the video folks, what's their take on the BJ>> XXX vid industry - same problems?? Ditto--We will be governed under the video regulations until caselaw dictates other--Just for the heck of it, I pulled Florida's statutes and it included computer generated media--Its a felony, and FLA considers CDROM publishers as manufacturers, vs a book store, video store, or topless bar. Spent alot of time with ammendment attorneys, and it was money well spent. Not wanting to believe what I was advised, I spent time with the video industry, and it was deja vu all over--All I ever knew was BBS existing scans/images and believed tapping the licensed stuff was gonna be tough--Well, I found the repositories, and have been offered numerous deals, and when asked why they offered it to me, the standard answer was they felt I had enough bucks ($250,000) and a legal contingency fund already set aside to handle the 'Biz'--NOT!!! From there, I got all the factoids about dealing in the 'XXX' industry, and alot of inside gov't info was released to me--All I will say, is I hope I got out of that side in time--No money is worth it, and when the first publisher takes a fall, you remember this conversation we are having now. None of these publishers (incl myself up until recently) ever gave the legal implications a thought--What's the harm, we all thought. Well, what makes us think we can deal in 'XXX' nationally and internationally and think we are invincible to prosecution--Video's and mags are regulated, and why should we have free reign in the seculiar when others who did the same as we are doing time in the 'Pen ? The gov't is onto us CD-ROM publishers, especially when alot of the video CD's went National on talk shows--The gov't is monitoring all online environments for as much info into this arena--There is gonna be a sting, when the gov't knows what/how to best use what they know-- Distributors are even expressing concerns about dealing in 'XXX', and the shows are starting to ban these products--The industry has matured beyond the 'Grassroots', and when you mention CD-ROM, there are less, 'Duh' responses--You would not believe the challenges adult manufacturers go through, and the monies paid out to avoid busts......it's un-comprehensible for a little person like me-- Don't know how much sense this makes--But my point is, I cannot afford the risks associated with manufacturing 'XXX' CD's--If others can, more power to them....ignorance is not bliss with obscenity issues--I just thank all those that thought enough of me to save my butt from the 'AX' that will ultimately fall on another-- So it was not hard for me to look to develop another niche in the biz, at least if nailed for T&A, first time should equate to a misdeamnor--So, I may leave that arena too, and stick with famous female collections. The sales won't be like 'XXX' but at least I know I can sleep well at night.

I agree that an "adult entertainment" echo/forum would be more appropriateas it would be both a place for those that want to discuss such topics a place to gather as well as insulate those that are not interested in such topics from data/info/chat etc. that they'd just as soon not hear/read. There was a small bit of previous discussion on this topic but it seems to have died for lack of interest/commitment from someone willing to take the reins. I try to keep mindful of non-interested parties when I write the reviews and choose my vocabulary accordingly. I always welcome comments on how I could improve them in this or any other regard, as well as support such as your post to "press on". I was approached by one shareware producer to do a review, which I'm willing to try, but I haven't heard from them since. Mike Shannon posted a few "duplictae file" comparisons between shareware CDs a while back. How much more than that is possible to review would require some thought. Obviously one couldn't try out several thousand programs and report on each of them. Also, according to Lee Noga, the shelf-life of a shareware CD is about 90 days (I think I got that right), so any review would almost have to come out in parallel with the CD's release. That might pose some logistical problems. At any rate, thanks for your comments. --- * Origin: Hard Disc Cafe | Houston Texas | (713) 589-2690 | (1:106/30) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BOB JACKSON Number: 5422 To: LEE NOGA Date: 09/29/93 11:10a Subj: Re: Review of STAREware Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Can't thank you enough, Lee, for sharing with us all FOR FREE data/info that you paid dearly for.

I have no doubt that you feel you are selling a quality product. I also have no doubt that the vendors who I have bought from in the past don't also feel they were selling a quality product. What concerns me is that you are not willing to stand behind your product. I'm not asking you to send me one and then in 30 or 90 days, send me a bill. What I was asking is that if I find your CD-Rom does not live up to my expectation based the claims of yourself and others (IE: anyone else who comments on the specific disk), that I be allowed to send it back and request a refund. Your asking people to buy somthing sight unseen, telling the consumer that if you don't like it once you see it, oh well. If this disk is as good as you say it is, then what is your concern? I'm sure I would love it and keep it, but if your idea of beauty and mine are tottallt diffent, then there is a chance that it would not be what I was looking for. You've told me about how much money you have invested in the disk, yet you would not invest in pictures you could not see, based on the photographer saying "Yea, there great"... Would you? You don't go to a poster shop and buy a poster rolled up, knowing only that someone at the publisher felt the photo was nice enough to publish...

I have made enquiries about my order SEVERAL times via your BBS and at least once in this echo. Your response has ALWAYS been the same, ZILCH, NADA, SFA, NOWT. Are you making business or simply pretending to take orders and cackling maniacly in the background? There are a number of customers connected to this echo who EXPECT a reasonable level of service from persons claiming to be suppliers. My question, and this will be the LAST time it is made to you, what is the status of my order, which was made via your BBS? Has it shipped yet? Are you planning to ship it any time soon? Is there some problem with the order? Are you a REAL person of justs figment of someone's imagination? I have placed orders with you, Boris and Mike. All were made at the same time. The order from Boris has been delivered, one disc returned as faulty and I received the replacement. Mike has not received his order as he apparently has not NetMail contact on the BBS he uses (Get a mailer, Mike <grin>), but the order to you, although acknowledged PERSONALLY by you on your BBS, STILL has not arrived or as far as I am aware, even been sent by you. Doug, I am on the verge of sending you a flame, this (if you do not understand it) is a POLITE request. Your level of service to your customers cannot be described in words, at least not while ladies are present, and I can only presume that you have some sort of masochistic tendancy and want people to actually dislike the service, which you are NOT, providing.

Was asking $80.00 for both, but would like to arrange a trade, for other hardware, perhaps a CDROM or VGA Monitor,and a FAIR amount of CASH along with them. I have RLL'ed and MFM the drive without problems while using this -controller, which is 16 bit format and can't forsee future problems. The controller will address ANY type of floppy drive or PAIR of HD -drives. Only thing is that from day one, the controller will ONLY operate one floppy connected to it and when I've tried to use pairs,neither work. Maybe the manner in which my cables were hooked up, I don't know. If interested, in these as a pair, let me know and we can arrange a swap. I have the original box that the Seagate drive came in with side pocket where controller was also shipped.

It only creates hard feelings and unhappy customers and we're not interested in either of those no matter what the product is !! So, we'll just sit back and wait and when they come in, we'll post the price and hopefully everyone will be happy. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I have RLL'ed and MFM this drive without problems while using this and other controllers, (this being a 16 bit format and can't forsee future problems). The controller will address a SINGLE floppy drive of ANY type or PAIR of HD -drives. From day one however, it has refused to function with more than one floppy drive. Perhaps due to the type or manner in which my cables were hooked up, I dont know! If ANYONE is interested, in these as a pair, let me know and we can arrange a swap. I have the original box that the Seagate drive came in, which has a side pocket where controller was also shipped. A NO D.O.A. and COMPATABILITY guarentee with ANY SINGLE floppy or pairs of HD drives applies with these and I will include a copy of Disk Manager with it.

In fact I believe that Storm I was the ONLY disk to c TK> before this one! If there are any "hits" against your database, TK> that the disks you listed re-hashed the files on StareWare, not TK> other way around. It is my understanding that Private Pictures pre-dates Storm I and most others of its kin, but not to worry. I'm not an adult CD historian so I can't really comment on who's re-hashing whom. Perhaps someone else would care to take up that debate, I don't. Also, STAREware is at least a "re-release" and IMO a far more insidious one than Rel. 2 or 3 of Busty Babes. Florida Lion's Den openly published what was in those re-releases, and WHY. STAREware's name change IMPLIES something new or at least different in it's contents from its like-named predecessor, without a peep from it's producers to the contrary - a sneaky practice at best. While I am "guilty" of implying that STAREware re-hashes other CDs files, my intent was to say simply that its files can be found on other CDs as well, and vice-versa. That's why I included the table of "hits" by name. Therefore the CUSTOMER doesn't need to buy more than one or two of the now so-called "grassroots" adult CDs to have a goodly portion of what's out there - certainly enough to be representative of the market. Since the files are identical, it falls to other considerations to make a difference between CDs and sway one's purchasing decision. That's why I've tried to include other type of data/information in my reviews. I don't claim to be an expert and what I write is only my opinion. If you'd care to begin writing your own comprehensive opinions of CDs, adult or otherwise, I'm sure the echo would welcome the additional input. --- FreeMail 1.07b * Origin: The Bit Bucket * Houston, Tx * 713/496-9670 * (1:106/9670) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BRETT PARKER Number: 5537 To: GREG ISOKRARI Date: 09/30/93 8:42a Subj: Starvector Software Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Greg Isokrari scribbled in a message to All: GI> Mike Shannon posted the price list for Starvector Software GI> and I was wondering if anyone had ever ordered from there???

I left you a reply last week. How many times to I have to reply? I sent your order to you on September 25, 1993 just like I said I would. I made a mistake and amended for it just like I said I would. What more do you want? Your Express Mail number is IB355917232US. I will be glad to fax you a copy of it as proof if you can supply me a fax number. RD> I have made enquiries about my order SEVERAL times via your RD> BBS and at least once in this echo. Your response RD> has ALWAYS been the same, ZILCH, NADA, SFA, NOWT. That is a blatant lie. You left me one message on my BBS regarding the status of your order. You didn't bother to call back and read it either. You left me one message here in the echo and I promptly replied to your message and promptly shipped your order to you as I promised I would. I have no way of knowing if you got my reply, but I am sure someone else can testify to the fact that I did send you one. I made a mistake, and I promptly amended for it. That is all one can do.

Are you planning to ship it any time soon? Is RD> there some problem with the order? Are you a REAL RD> person of justs figment of someone's imagination? Why don't you bother reading the reply I sent to you? Do you have a warped sense of humor and enjoy causing me to look bad and possibly causing me to lose sales because of this unneeded and unjustified message? RD> I have placed orders with you, Boris and Mike. All were RD> made at the same time. The order from Boris has RD> been delivered, one disc returned as faulty and I As I already stated, I sent your order to you on 9/25/93. Express Mail usually takes about 5-7 days to get to you if they clear customs. Did you bother to call your customs department and see if they cleared it? Obviously not. I would suggest that you do so and also check with your postal service and see what they say if you have not received it yet.

That does not make you a very honest person, does it? If this is being polite, I'd hate to see what the worse on is. I have been very polite to you, even though, I am beginning to wonder if I should continue to do so. As I have said before, we aim to please, and will do whatever it takes to please our customers if we make a mistake. I believe we have made the appropriate restitution for our error. That is all we can do. Any further comments from you is libel and slander. If am a nice guy and always try to put the customer first, but there is a limit to what I am going to put up with.

Not too tough to do, I use to research stuff at my father's law office when I was younger...guess you could start by: 1. If Groupware has an average % sells produced out of the this echo tracked in his customer database, the case is over if sells have declined (wouldn't even have to directly attribute them to that comment). Based on the way these guys are always sending out catalogs I'm sure this information is available. 2. As for defamation of character, the poster said he was a "crook". What other type of information are you looking for (i.e. would you purchase from 'GroupWare' after hearing this?)? 3. Once it gets to court, the plaintiff is nearly always guarantted some type of award (although the famous $1 has been awarded quite a few times as well). On the otherhand, there are always the washed up Carol Burnett types that sue when they basically shouldn't win a thing and they do! Personally, if I were running a business and only won $1 in the situation above, I'd consider it a victory...mainly because the guy with the big mouth would be eating both my court costs and his. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Health Professions El Paso, TX ZyXEL (915) 590-9798 (1:381/61) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DANIEL HAGAN Number: 5624 To: LEE NOGA Date: 10/03/93 2:13a Subj: Industry changes Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No > Been already burned--That was the boom of 1993, and obscenity busts > will be 1994-- > Its not pleasant when reality comes knocking--Don't believe what I > say, I am merely relaying the what's going on from within inside > distribution-- This is a pretty sad situation, when someone goes through the rigors of obtaining non-copyrighted material and then lays down the amount of cash you indicated previously to get a disc produced. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Health Professions El Paso, TX ZyXEL (915) 590-9798 (1:381/61) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DON NELSON Number: 5625 To: LEO MULVIHILL Date: 10/03/93 1:02a Subj: Microsoft Bookhelf '92 Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No LM> I have a copy of Microsoft Bookshelf for Windows 1992 LM> edition.

This is not really a "new title" but a rework of the original BBS disc. If you have a copy of the older disc, you may or may not want a copy of the newer version, depending on your needs. I'll explain more on that later. The new ShowOff routines were rather fascinating, but a bit slow for me to operate. Some of the features of it are rather neat, I must admit, such as the ability to see the "file description" when you move your mouse over the image in question. The images on this disc are, for the most part, scans culled from BBS's around the country. I can't honestly say that they might be culled from other CD's, because Busty Babes predates most of the adult CD's on the market today! <smile!> It's more likely that any culling done was done *From* Busty Babes, rather than *by* Busty Babes. Because of these sources, some of the images are nice, some of them are not all that whoopie. Typical of BBS scans, in my opinion. You have some really good scanners out there, and some not-so-good scanners. Regarding the "perhaps you need it, perhaps you don't" message, let me explain: If you are an "end user" and have an earlier copy, there is very little new here for you. The major difference between this release and prior releases is the Showoff interface, and the removal of certain "sensitive" files (ie: copyrighted material that was inadvertently placed on the disc). As an end user, this is probably not enough to make it worth your while to switch to the new version. If you are a SysOp, however, it might be a very good idea to switch to the new title. The removal of the "sensitive" images makes it a much safer disc to run online, and in this rather litigative society that we all live in, the more protection you have, the better. The files are classified by subject, as per the norm with Florida Lion's Den products. BBS Readiness is supplied by adding a "FILES.BBS" list to each subdirectory, in the following format: AA_12367.GIF [0] Graphic File Description Placed Here This is not an easy format to convert to other BBS systems. Luckily, for the less intrepid out there, there is a file called ALLFILES.LST in the root directory that has file listings in this format: ACTION_2.GIF 210155 13-Jul-93 [0] Graphic File Description Placed Here While not perfect by any means, this one is a LOT easier to convert into useful formats than the prior one. However, all the file listings are in one big text list, and you will have to use your favorite editor to break it into appropriate chunks, as well as making the changes to make them into your format of choice. While not preferable, the inclusion of this file does make converting the disc a LOT easier. I hate having to convert discs from the abreviated "FILES.BBS" format that is used on a lot of discs these days. The file SYSOP.DOC in the root directory indicates that there are utils contained for converting their provided file listings into several different formats. I looked for one listed, Spitfire, the BBS software that I run, and came up with nothing usable for conversion. Personally, I feel that a BBS ready disc should support as many different BBS's as reasonably possible. Leaving the work up to the SysO is hardly a way to win the SysOp market. Luckly, this disc is one of the few really worth the work of making a file listing for it. Overall Impression: The disc shows the quality that we have come to expect from Florida Lion's Den. The Showoff interface, while interesting, didn't live up to the expectations that I had for it from all of the "opinions" that I had been reading and hearing. For the end user without a prior copy of Busty Babes, it's a good, solid disc to get. For the SysOp, it's a good bet, and a better bet if you have an older copy online and want to get your material a bit safer in content. --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DAVE CLARK Number: 5643 To: ALL USERS Date: 10/03/93 3:50a Subj: CD-ROM Review: Shareware Explorer Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ======================================================================= ======================================================================= === CD-ROM DISC REVIEW - ARSENAL COMPUTER === === P.

By this, I mean that with one notable exception, every multi-disc set that I've come across has been rather... annoying. They had several problems, too many to bother with mentioning here. The only exception was World Vision. World Vision still holds that title in my book. I started out by browsing the disc looking for highlights. And boy, did I find them, in spades. But, I'll get to that later, and take this in my normal pattern. When attempting to install the end user interface, I was greeted by two executable files... a GO.BAT and an INSTALL.EXE. I selected the GO.BAT at first, and found, much to my annoyance, that it only displayed text files. I read some of them, found some useful and a lot of totally useless information, and went on to the INSTALL.EXE. After supplying the data that it requested, it installed the program to my hard drive, and I was off. Or was I? It turns out that the install did nothing more than install a short batchfile that referred to nothing in particular in regards to the disc, or the interface program. Feeling that NOTHING could be THAT dumb, I decided to have other people test the disc to see if they could make it work, or if it really was as dumb as it looked. I put my wife, Korene, in front of it, and offered no help. I figured that this would be a good test, simulating someone that doesn't know DOS as an expert and would have to use the user interface. After several minutes of utter confusion trying to make heads or tails of what it was doing, she ended up with the exact same results that I got. In other words, nothing. When asked what she thought of the user interface on the disc, her reply was short and to the point. Unfortunately, it cannot be reprinted here. Korene works at a local VA Hospital as a computer processing manager, but her knowledge of DOS systems is not up to her professional knowledge. She normally works with the voice activated systems that she has to maintain. Luckily, my system is not voice activated, because I'm not sure how it would have interpreted the string of "commands" that she gave it once she was done attempting to make it work. Ok, last chance... I turned Scott Reigle loose on it. Scott is the SysOp of Farkem Asylum, a gaming board. Scott has configured several hundred different BBS programs for his board, and I figured that he was our last, greatest hope. Well, Scott tried a different tactic, got different messages, and ended up with the exact same results. Yeesh. Scott's reaction was, while not quite as colorful as Korene's, quite enlightening. Something that I cannot say about the software. I finally got the software operational using the /nowrite option and running it right from the CD-ROM. What greeted me was one of the slowest CD-ROM interfaces that I've ever had the misfortune to come across. To say that I wasn't pleased would be an understatement. Ok, lets go look at the BBS readiness of the disc.... The files in the discs are arranged in subdirectories named A001, A002, A003, etc. Not terribly descriptive, but easy to configure in a BBS door. Each subdirectory had in it a FILES.BBS in the following format: AFFORD.ZIP [0] Annuity Calculation Program (asp). This was the only file listing provided in the subdirectories. These are among the most difficult to use on other systems, because of the lack of information. .... continued in next message.... --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DAVE CLARK Number: 5644 To: ALL USERS Date: 10/03/93 3:50a Subj: CD-ROM Review: Hacker Chronicles Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ======================================================================= ======================================================================= === CD-ROM DISC REVIEW - ARSENAL COMPUTER === === P.

Looking over this disc, I found information ranging on "how to play phone pranks" (these being about as sophisticated as "Do You Have Prince Albert in the Can?") to hard info on telephone and credit information repositories, to a rather interesting text written by an alleged "Ninja" (with very bad use of the English language) on how to infect a victim with Hepatitis. Reading through some of the material on the disc is rather fascinating. I must admit that this disc could provide a large amount of "entertainment" if someone was of evil intent. This disc had a very crude BBS support built in... each directory has a text file in it that is named "dirname.DIR" with the "dirname" being the name of the directory. The file listings look like this, pretty much (they don't all fit in the same pattern): cud100a.txt cud100a.txt Moderator's Introduction As you can see, this one will take a LOT of work to get ready for BBS usage... assuming you are brave enough to use this online! <smile!> As a BBS ready disc, I have to give this one a thumbs down. The information is quite "explosive" (sometimes literally) and the BBS listings will require a LOT of work to make usable. The disc is only 145 Megs in size, so it's nowhere near a full disc. For the end user or Sysop interested in information for themselves, this could be quite a find, depending on what you are looking for. There is a lot of fascinating information here, and perhaps it would be worth it to you to have one lying around. Personally, I think that I'm going to snarf a couple of the directories off of it to put in my magnetic files base.. there is some fascinating stuff on there that could be of use, even to the totally legitimate callers that have no interest in shady activities. --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DAVE CLARK Number: 5645 To: ALL USERS Date: 10/03/93 3:50a Subj: CD-ROM Review: Lan Master Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ======================================================================= ======================================================================= === CD-ROM DISC REVIEW - ARSENAL COMPUTER === === P.

Well, as you can see by my CHKCD readout, there is only 91 megs on the disk total, so someone missed something somewhere.... The creation date was rather... amusing. I found files in the disc dating 1991 and 1992, but according to all the filemarks, this disc was made in 1986. Why was such a silly date applied to the disc? It can do nothing but hurt it. This disc is NOT BBS ready in the conventional sense. I did manage to find some PCBoard style BBS listings for SOME of the files, but these were NOT well marked, and they didn't cover a large portion of the files on the disc. Overall, very disappointing. Of course, even if it did have decent file listings, the 91 Meg size of the disc means that it would be terribly inefficient to use as a BBS disc, but at least you could use it to beef up your magnetic file section. The disc was obviously set up for the end user market, and I found the menu interface to be unremarkable, but at least it was functional, with no problems detected in use. That's more than I can say for a lot of menus... <grin!> I was a bit underwhelmed by some of the file sections on this disc... there was specific mention of multiplayer games on the disc, and I was rather disappointed to find only eight games on the disc in the LAN games section. The multitasking section had 37 files listed on it, and it didn't have any cover space dedicated to it at all... I guess they figured that the games, skimpy though they be, would be a greater draw than the multitasker section. Overall, I'm not impressed. It might service as a reference item for some technojocks, but otherwise, I can't really recommend it. It's not BBS ready in any meaningful fashion, and there is nothing here that you could really want to bother with as a SysOp anyway, with the lack of decent file descriptions on most of the files. --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DAVE CLARK Number: 5646 To: ALL USERS Date: 10/03/93 3:50a Subj: CD-ROM Review: Legends of Porn Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ======================================================================= ======================================================================= === CD-ROM DISC REVIEW - ARSENAL COMPUTER === === P.

Things took forever to load into Windows and run, in my opinion. Of course, I'm a person that goes to the kitchen to get a Diet Pepsi when WinDoze is loading... <smile!> The system requirements for running this disc on a PC are as follows: Windows 3.1, "Color machines recommended," 386 processor, DOS 5.0, Soundblaster or compatible card, 8 or 16 bit video card, and a "multimedia capable" CD-ROM. However, I found the the performance on my machine to be abysmal. I have a 486/25DX with 8 Megs of RAM, 128k cache, 1 Meg Boca XVGA card, 15" flat screen 1280x1024 monitor, and Sony CD-ROM, paired with a brand spanking new Sound Blaster Deluxe card (bought just for the purpose of reviewing all of these new titles!). When playing the sampler, I got an "out of memory" message on this disc. Pfffttt. Of course, any movie disc like this is totally useless for the BBS market, so I won't even bother going into something like that. The material is illegal for BBS distribution, and it would be highly impractical to even attempt it. When attempting to use the "panic button" on it, I ended up with my system at a standstill with a curiously pulsating Icon at the bottom of my screen. I've never seen such an "interesting" phenomenon in quite a long time! I hate software that requires a reboot to get out of... Overall Impression: For the BBS SysOp, pass on it. For the individual user, if your equipment or patience is better than mine, go for it, if you just *have* to have some adult Windows animations.

I have been rather lukewarm on a lot of their prior work, as it didn't show much in the way of thought in the area of BBS readyness. This disc shows that people CAN learn from their mistakes. This disc, while not the easiest directory structure that I've seen, actually wasn't too bad to figure out. The file listings, provided in each subdirectory and in a separate subdirectory, are in a PCBoard style format, very easy to modify. I personally think that the reason the file listings are as good as they are is simply because CCB didn't mess with the file listings that they were given with the GIF files. Chicago Computer Broker didn't create the data on this disc, they apparently made some sort of arrangement with "Corporate Graphics" BBS, one of the better BBS scanner artists. Each of the GIF files on this disc are 1024x768 graphics (mostly due to adding large colorful background images to each picture, along with lots of advertisements for Corporate Graphics). The overall image quality on the GIF's that I inspected were very good, showing some excellent work on the part of the scanners. I was impressed. Chicago Computer Broker states that these images are scanned for them, and have never been seen before... I cannot verify that one way or another, but the ones that I looked at were unfamiliar to me. There is NO built in and ready to use user interface on this disc. There is a copy of VPIC on the disc, but it is not ready to use, nor is there any real help in getting it running. You had better have your own viewing software before you go into this disc. There is a section with 13 different viewing/editing utilities on it, a small boon to the SysOp, but better work on that could have been done, such as the 99 file section of such material on Digital Dreams. One question that keeps coming to mind is "where did these images come from?" That is a burning question with SysOps these days, especially SysOps that want to keep any possible legal inquiries out of their hair. These images, as excellent as they are, do not give a clue as to their ownership, so we don't know if they were scanned from original photos or from Playboy. I would hope that Corporate Graphics would be keeping the "funny stuff" out of there, but there is no assurances that they have on this disc. Overall, except for the murky legal issues, this appears to be an excellent BBS ready disc. If you are looking for some nice graphics to put online, then this is a good choice. If you are worried about legal issues, then you might want to look elsewhere, as I can't say one way or another if this disc is "safe" or not. If you are an end user, then have your own viewers ready, but otherwise, the quality of the work is excellent. For a change... <grin!> --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DAVE CLARK Number: 5648 To: ALL USERS Date: 10/03/93 3:50a Subj: CD-ROM Review: Tech Arsenal Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ======================================================================= ======================================================================= === CD-ROM DISC REVIEW - ARSENAL COMPUTER === === P.

I always offer a money back guarantee on any disc that I sell, and of course, my stuff is going to be given the same treatment... <smile!> I'm going to give this the same going over that I do any other disc, and I'm going to be just as frank as I would for anyone else. I don't play favorites here. Of course, let's face one fact... why in the h*ll would I make a disc that I would have to trash? <SEG!> I have been looking at everyone else's product, so I know what goes, and what doesn't, and I designed my disc accordingly. So, with that out of the way, here goes. Tech Arsenal deals solely with technical subjects, such as programming utilities and source code, Local Area Networking, dBase programming and applications, Anti-Virus utilities, Text & Hex Editors, Caching, Testing and Diagnostics, Drivers, Backup & Data Recovery, Computer Aided Design, Desqview & QEMM, and even HAM radio & Scanner material is covered on this disc. File dates are from September 1993 to 1990 on source code (due to the fact that, by and large, source code is "ageless") and the programs have dates ranging from September 1993 to 1991. However, please bear in mind that if a filedate is 1991 or 1992, then it's because no later version was found. Dupliacation of filenames was kept to a strict minimum. Why not entirely gone, you might ask? Simply put, I found some duplicate filenames in two areas, with files that had NOTHING to do with each other, and in some cases, there were utilities that really did have application in multiple file areas, such as a programming utility that would be used in C/ASM, Basic, and Pascal... so it appeared in each section, rather than making the people interested only in one section have to go "hunting" for it in others. These files are on there quite intentionally to make it easier to use. However, the percentage of such files is VERY small. BBS readiness is very apparent (go figure!). File listings are provided in PCBoard, Spitfire, and QBBS formats, with a Database of the file Descriptions available on the disc as well, so that you can create your own very easily, if you so desire. All but the DBF files are available in both the referenced file subdirectory, and in a separate file subdirectory. The "all in one" setup allows door users (such as myself) ease of use, while the file listings in each directory means that those that either with to run "native" (with the disc directly accessed by the BBS) or those with specific conversion utilities, such as TBBS SysOps, are not left out in the cold. The subdirectory structure is quite simple, with the files contained in subdirectories named TEK-01 through TEK-21. The File listings are in /FILELIST, and the information for SysOps is contained in the subdirectory /SYSOPS. Simple enough, eh? <Grin!> Some additonal note should be paid to the user interface on this... in a rather "unusual" move, the user interface was not the usual program that people have come to expect, but the EZRom Door interface, as written by Mike Robinson. Mike's door program, run in local mode, provides a very quick search engine and a very easy way to transfer the files to your hard drive for use. It is easily the fastest CD-ROM based search engine that I have seen, and I hope that the exposure that the Shareware version of this program generates will help Mike in getting more BBS registrations for his excellent product. ... continued in next message.... --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DAVE CLARK Number: 5649 To: ALL USERS Date: 10/03/93 3:50a Subj: CD-ROM Review: Total Fantasy Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ======================================================================= ======================================================================= === CD-ROM DISC REVIEW - ARSENAL COMPUTER === === P.

Well, here are some of the things that I noted about the disc... The disc "failed" the "louisville slugger" test... no, this does not mean that I took a baseball bat to the disc, although I sometimes feel that this would be the most useful thing to do to some discs. But in this case, it refers to whether or not a disc contains an image known as "BATTERUP.GIF." This is one of the more tasteless images in wide distribution, and it consists of a woman with a baseball bat in a place that it really doesn't belong. The inclusion of this image shows the following detrimental points: [1] that the disc is comprised of images that have already been seen on CD-ROM's and [2] that the publishers have no taste whatsoever! <smile!> Most of the images are either culled from BBS's, or other CD-ROM's. I've seen a large number of the "samples" that I went through (no, I didn't go through the entire disc, I simply don't have the time or patience to do that, especially with a product like this) and found most of them to be rather disappointing. The best images that I came across were the SPCR*.GIF series in the BUSTY subdirectory, but even those had some poor quality images and one was a mosaic of nothing more than three very small scans repeated three or four times each on a bland background. Very, Very, VERY annoying. The user interface consisted of a program that would attempt to install the users choice of some versions of VPIC. Yawn. Spying a directory called PENT on the disc, I checked and found that the very first file was described as "Julie Strain, Penthouse Pet June 1991." I think that someone really is asking for trouble here. These images are very obviously scanned from Penthouse magazine, and the file descriptions openly admit this. The problem is that not only is Penthouse a copyrighted material, but they offer their own online service, and have been taking as militant a stance in enforcing their copyrights as has Playboy. Perhaps this Denmark based publisher thinks that they are immune from copyright suits, but us BBS operators here in America are NOT granted such immunity. I think that this is really asking for trouble. Needless to say, I wouldn't even THINK about running this on a BBS. This disc has files arranged by alphabet, and by a handful of categories. The BBS readiness (ha ha) has been supplied by putting in some alleged "file descriptions" of the following nature: Each subdirectory has file listings with "FILES.BBS" and "FILES.BB1" on them. The "FILES.BBS" listings look like this: DANAXT02.GIF Rather Graphic Text Description The FILES.BB1 listings look like this: DANAXT02.GIF (640X480X256) Rather Graphic Text Description Needless to say, if you are running most boards, this form of file description is totally useless. Overall impressions: For the end user, a totally useless interface and repetition of images found elsewhere make this a poor buy. For the sysop, the repetition of images and the very poor file description format makes this one a pain and a half to use. Add to that the fact that the disc has images that are somewhat dicey under the current applicable copyright laws, and you have a combo more suited for a headache commercial. Final Analysis: Hit it, Beat it, Make it show bad CRC's. --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DAVE CLARK Number: 5650 To: ALL USERS Date: 10/03/93 3:50a Subj: CD-ROM Review: Wild Women Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ======================================================================= ======================================================================= === CD-ROM DISC REVIEW - ARSENAL COMPUTER === === P.

When I look at the disc itself, it strongly resembles the "look and feel" of the Florida Lions Den products on the exterior artwork. Of course, this is not the first time that someone has "borrowed" the look and feel of another's artwork... <grin!> Getting beyond the rather "familiar" artwork, I got into the disc.... The BBS readyness of the disc is supplied in two forms: each directory has a FILES.BBS listing in it (in PCBoard Format), and all the file listings are in the /FILELIST subdirectory as well. You will also find a ZIP file of the file listings in DBF format. The DBF listings are a nice touch, and it's showing up on more and more CD-ROM's these days, offering the enterprising SysOp a chance to make the listings look the way they need them. One annoying thing about the DBF listings was that they provided the file categories as separate DBF files, rather than having one large one with a ID field. I personally prefer the ID field variant, myself. The images are obviously BBS scans originally. I didn't see any images that I recalled in a quick once over, but I did recognize all the "major player" scanners logos. As is to be expected in a product of this nature, some of the scans were excellent, some were... somewhat less than excellent. I found the user interface to be a bit underwhelming, as I usually do. The menu system was a shareware product from Pinnace Systems, and it worked well... but when it came to actually viewing the images with the menu, I ended up with a blank screen. This happens in about 1/2 of the discs that I look at. Looking over some of the legal textfiles in the disc, I had a few laughs... for example, the statement that "all of the models shown on this CD-Rom are of legal age to pose for these pictures, and that by posing for such pictures it is understood that they do not necessarily indulge in the acts shown or even practice any of the various sexual activities." Pfft! Lets face it, this is a collection of BBS scans... how is the publisher going to know all of this? <Grin!> Another thing that I find amusing is the fact that the publisher is stating that the "verboten" images, such as Playboy and Compuserve, are not in evidence, but again, we are dealing with BBS scans here, with no real "back trail" to follow to insure compliance with this. Take this "warrantee" at your own risk. Overall, I find this a decent enough disc, with the kind of quality that one would expect in a BBS Scan Stills collection. It is neither better or worse than any other of it's class. The file listings make it easier to use online than some competing products, I'll give it that. Overall, I would give this a thumbs up... a few months ago. It's a fine disc, but some BBS SysOps are getting away from traditional BBS scans for their online images, due to legal fears. This one, unlike discs lik Digital Dreams or Amateur Models, don't have any real assurance that the images are NOT going to cause problems. Therefor, it's a kind of gray zone that we are dealing with here. If you don't mind living in the "Gray Zone", and want a decent quality selection of BBS Scans, then Wild Women will probably satisfy you. If you are an individual, with your own viewing software, then this disc will be about the same as other similar collections. --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ARNIE GROSS Number: 5651 To: BORIS OSADCIW Date: 10/01/93 8:49a Subj: Re: PANASONIC CD Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Hello Boris!

BJ> I was approached by one shareware producer to do a review, which BJ> I'm willing to try, but I haven't heard from them since. Mike BJ> Shannon posted a few "duplicate file" comparisons between shareware BJ> CDs a while back. How much more than that is possible to review BJ> would require some thought. Obviously one couldn't try out several BJ> BJ> thousand programs and report on each of them. I won't stock a Shareware CD in our shop unless I receive a demo copy to review. Some of the producers don't ship demos - that's their prerogative. But I stand behind every disc we sell. If I think a shareware disc is junk, I won't put it on the shelf. I didn't get into this business to specialize in refunding unhappy customers. As a result, I have developed a fairly good system for checking shareware discs, just as I admire the concept of your system for reviewing the adult material. There are a couple of producers who send me demos of everything they press. These demos usually arrive on the same day as the first copies get to the major distributors. As a result, I can get the review done within two or three days of general public availability. As far as trying out "several thousand programs" is concerned, one does not have to actually try the programs on the disc to review it. Shareware file descriptions abound on all of the local BBSs, and these discs are nought but a compilation of these files. The value of the disc lies in: (1) the freshness of the files (2) the absence of multiple versions of the same program (3) "truth in advertising" (fresh dates on old files is a "no-no") (4) the overall organization of the disc (5) the front end (6) whether or not the disc is BBS ready (7) attractive packaging, liner notes, readable title on edge (8) installation ease/options/problems etc, etc, etc. Duplicate file comparisons are useful, but only if one is intending to purchase more than one disc (unless a single disc is full of internal duplication). With the exception of the few humongous BBSs in the country, the average SysOp is only going to have a single CD-ROM on line at any one time. As far as the "ALL-1993" type discs are concerned, it is imperative that some old files be available to an end user buying his first CD-ROM. Where would he be, for instance, with a disc full of archived files if he doesn't have the pre-1993 unarchivers? BJ> Also, according to Lee Noga, the shelf-life of a shareware CD BJ> is about 90 days (I think I got that right), so any review would BJ> almost have to come out in parallel with the CD's release.

I have made an offer to all producers of shareware roms, which I will repeat here: Send a demo copy of your shareware releases to Country Fair Software and I will provide you with a publishable review (hard copy at your option). I cannot guarantee a favorable review (my standards for shareware are high), but it will be honest and responsible. I'd be happy to contribute these reviews to the echo, if you'd prefer not to get involved with reviews of shareware discs. - Arnie :+} --- GoldED 2.40 * Origin: The Magnificent MIDI Machine (1:141/950.1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ARNIE GROSS Number: 5653 To: JEFF JENKINS Date: 10/01/93 8:51a Subj: Re: CD for sale Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No .

I would have been happy with a BBS to call so I could donwload samples if nothing else, but I was getting is "I spent 25 grand to put this together, it's not trash" response. I don't care if 25 million was spent on it, I would like to know what it is I'm buying (a record store will often let you hear it in the store), and if I can't know that much, be able to return it or exchange it. BJ> Osadciw, and others) have openly offered to exchange BJ> unsatisfactory CDs And that is why I asked if the vendor of the disk I was originally looking at offered such an exchange/refund policy. Look, I don't think I was asking too much here. I asked if the vendor stood behind his claims that the disk was quality work... He reply was that it was all new images... That quote made me even more concerned because I have no way of knowing the quality of his images... As far as I know it could be GIF's of the guy's next door neigbor, with many images of almost the same pose. Do you go to a book store and buy a book, without atleast being able to read the back cover? BJ> for other selections - WHETHER THEY SOLD THE ORIGINAL CD OR BJ> NOT - and BJ> they all should be praised for taking that stance. And I do praise for such.. I commened there commitment to stand ebhind what they sell. And to have enough confidence in there products, to be able encourage people to trade up to them (from others).. BJ> You sound like one of those types of people who always want BJ> someone else to be responsible for their own bad decisions. Life ISN'T BJ> my friend. As the old woman said: "You pays your money and BJ> you takes your choice." If you make a purchase (of anything) based on BJ> your choice." If you make a purchase (of anything) based on poor or BJ> inadequate information, that's YOUR problem and no one BJ> else's. And as I've already said, if I can't get better information on this, it's not a deal. All the seller wanted to say was it was good and original, R rated stuff mostly. I do not know the sellers reputation, not to any fault of his, and the fact the he is unwilling to stand behind his work, or his claims, makes the deal sound not so good. I am not accusing anyone of deception, but as this message proves, alot can get lost in translation. I'm sick of having to defend my belief that if a seller is not willing to stand behind his product, that a person should be concerned... --- FMail 0.94 * Origin: The Plain Brown Wrapper -- 3 Nodes -- (HST/DS) (1:124/6501) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ELDON WAKEFIELD Number: 5690 To: ALL Date: 10/04/93 7:50a Subj: CD'S Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No I have the following for sale asking 110.00 for all and will pay the shipping.

Hello Jean-Claude. I just thought I would give you a dealer's perspective on this. Lee's CD-Roms are among the best available. There will always be a few who dislike what they get. When this person sends the disc back, what is the dealer to do with it? Would it bother you to receive a supposedly new disc and find out that it has already made it's rounds through someone else's drive? Granted, the disc IS as good as new, but many people would be unhappy getting a slightly used product for a new price. It is either that, or the dealer loses money on the return even though he/she delivered the product in perfect condition as requested. It is a tough call, and one every dealer must decide on. Personally, I have accepted returns on non-packaged CD's without question so far. Fortunately, my customers have treated me right, and there has been no significant problems. Just another opinion. ;) Jim... --- FreeMail 1.09 * Origin: The Byte House BBS * Andalusia, AL * 205-222-0772 * (1:18/2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ISMAIL ARSLANGIRAY Number: 5703 To: DANIEL HAGAN Date: 10/03/93 10:18p Subj: Dave Reed vs GroupWare Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No > Personally, if I were running a business and only won $1 in the situation > above, I'd consider it a victory...mainly because the guy with the big > mouth would be eating both my court costs and his.

I think you are asking too much. I agree (and encourage) that folks should get all the data they can before purchasing a product. That data includes the dealer/producer reputation. If that filter passes, and the buyer has reasonable expectations regarding the suitability (note I said expectations, not guarantees), then it's the purchaser's responsibility from then on. If the product proves unsat due to deception, then the buyer's got a legit beef. If it's less than that, no beef. In other words, if the deal was made in good faith, it should be kept in good faith BY BOTH PARTIES. <EOT> --- * Origin: Hard Disc Cafe | Houston Texas | (713) 589-2690 | (1:106/30) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: MIKE GRIFFIN Number: 5720 To: KIRK REEVES Date: 10/05/93 12:32p Subj: Starvector Software Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Hello Kirk! 27 Sep 93 21:17, Kirk Reeves wrote to Greg Isokrari: GI>> Mike Shannon posted the price list for Starvector GI>> Software and I was wondering if anyone had ever ordered GI>> from there???

Here (and the next message) is a story that is in the October issue of Boardwatch. The writer is Lance Rose, an attorney, and the author of "SYSLAW", the 'bible' on electronic communication law. TONY DAVIS & THE SHOW-BIZ COPS OF OKLAHOMA CITY The arrest of Tony Davis was reported in last month's Boardwatch. Davis operated the Oklahoma Information Exchange BBS in Oklahoma City. On August 17, 1993, he was formally arraigned in Oklahoma state court and allowed to remain out of jail on $4500 bail. Since the first report, we looked into this affair more closely. The closer one looks, the more absurd Davis' plight gets. The police investigation of Tony Davis culminated in two purchases of allegedly obscene CD-ROMs from Davis by undercover police on June 4th and July 12th, 1993. Shortly after the second purchase, on July 19, 1993, they arrived in force at Tony Davis' office with a warrant and seized some adult CD-ROMs from the stock he maintained in operating a CD-ROM retail business. They did not stop there, however. They also grabbed his BBS computer equipment and arrested Davis. The event had little chance of passing unnoticed, as the police brought along a professional video camera and videotaped the whole affair. Afterwards they edited the tape, wrote a script, and with the help of the local ABC affiliate turned it into a weekly installment of a "reality television" program called "You're Busted". It was broadcast throughout the Oklahoma City area on July 23rd, four days after the raid. For that extra dose of reality, the episode was narrated by one of the policemen who searched Davis' place and arrested him. As the police burst in on Davis, the voiceover informed TV viewers they were witnessing the control center for Davis' "international pornographic network". Out of roughly 2,000 CD- ROMs Davis kept on hand for the CD-ROM retail business he operated, the police confiscated 57. For purposes of comparison, that's under 3% of Davis' total stock of CD-ROMs. A far smaller percentage than the amount of hardcore adult material found in typical video stores in most parts of our country. Later in the show, the cop with the video camera focused on a computer screen showing the CD-ROM activity on Davis' BBS. The names of BBS users could be seen as they downloaded files from CD-ROMs. The narrating officer knowingly explained to the TV audience that they were seeing BBS users "viewing the smut" right then and there (not to spoil the fun, but the police were mistaken; users can't read image files they are transferred to their own computers). At the end of the show, the narrator belted out the show's theme: "Tony Davis, you're busted!" Davis did not enjoy his 15 minutes of fame. According to Davis, "the You're Busted' show was the most degrading thing I've seen done to anybody in my life." The newspapers were thoroughly scooped but joined in spiritedly, passing along police allegations that Tony Davis was running a "high-tech, modern-day porno house". They noted that other investigations continued, which might mean the police were investigating Davis' CD-ROM suppliers, his customers, or both. To their credit, they also gave a number of column inches to questions raised by Davis' defense attorney, William Holmes, about the legality of the police actions. Davis was charged with four obscenity-related counts at the arraignment, two based on the CD-ROM purchases by undercover officers prior to the raid. Another count charged Davis with criminal "possession" of obscenity, despite the Supreme Court's declaration in the past that mere possession of obscene material is perfectly legal. The addition of this bizarre claim indicates either that the local police do not understand the Constitutional rights of U.S. citizens, or do not care. The last count was for trafficking in obscene images. According to Davis' attorney, this statute was originally enacted in reaction to pornographic video games, and now seems to be directed at the downloading of BBS files that the cops videotaped. All charges could have a very hard time sticking if the defective search and seizure procedures used by the police are closely scrutinized in court. Those procedures do appear deeply defective. Federal protections for BBS's and sysops were apparently ignored wholesale in the Davis raid, just as in other BBS raids we've seen the past couple of years. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act ("ECPA"), protects electronic messages against government search or seizure. When the police took Davis' BBS, they prevented messages traveling through the BBS from being delivered to their ultimate addresses. About 150 messages went undelivered, according to Davis' attorney. This interception violates the ECPA, even if the police resisted the temptation to read e-mail on the seized computers back in their offices. The Privacy Protection Act ("PPA"), prohibits seizure of materials being kept or prepared for publication, unless the person holding them is suspected of a crime involving those very materials (with a few narrow exceptions). Davis' business activities included publishing the "Magnum" series of CD-ROMS, none of which were included in the titles the police thought obscene. By seizing computers containing the materials used by Davis' in publishing his CD-ROMs, the police grossly violated the PPA. Since Davis was not suspected or accused of any crime in relation to the Magnum CD- ROMs he published, any associated materials simply should not have been touched by the police. Even plain vanilla 4th and 5th Amendment warrant requirements may have been violated by the police in this case. According to sources, the Oklahoma City police typically obtain a warrant based on an informal chat with the magistrate. Afterwards, they perform the actions authorized by the warrant, and only then submit a formal affidavit to support the warrant. If the police followed this sloppy and deeply illegal procedure in Davis' case, then his due process rights were grossly violated. As a further example of official slop, neither the warrant under which the raid was conducted, nor the police request for that warrant, mentioned Davis' computer bulletin board at all. That fatal omission did not stop the cops from taking all the computer equipment anyway. Perhaps the Oklahoma City prosecutors believe the seizure was legal because it is authorized under Oklahoma's own obscenity seizure statutes. If so, they're dead wrong. Federal due process protections trump state seizure laws. There was no emergency here to justify even a temporary abridgement of Davis' full due process rights. The particular importance of the ECPA and PPA should not be underestimated by Oklahoma state attorneys or anyone else. The protections of these statutes are so important that Congress spelled them out expressly, even though in a sense they merely clarify protections already contained in the Constitution. The police cannot bat these protections out of the way every time they threaten this week's episode of "You're Busted." --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Health Professions El Paso, TX ZyXEL (915) 590-9798 (1:381/61) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DANIEL HAGAN Number: 5747 To: ALL Date: 10/06/93 12:47a Subj: 2 of 2 Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No * Forwarded from "R19 SYSOP" * Originally by Tony Davis * Originally to All * Originally dated 4 Oct 1993, 19:36 Davis' lawyer, himself a former local prosecutor, appears fully aware of the mess the police are making of the Davis matter. He sent them a letter a week after the raid formally notifying them they are violating the ECPA and PPA through their seizure and retention of Davis' computer equipment. In doing so, he is trying to short circuit a possible future defense by the cops that they did not know they were doing anything wrong by holding Davis' equipment. Readers of Boardwatch may recall the lawsuit won by Steve Jackson Games against the U.S. government in Austin, Texas a few months back. The federal court held that the agents' naive BBS seizure violating the ECPA and PPA could be excused, but the agents became obligated to return the wrongly seized materials as soon as they found out about their privacy and publishing aspects and the laws forbidding their seizure. The same should certainly hold true here. Despite this precedent, as of August 19th the police still did not return anything to Davis, almost a month after receiving his lawyer's notifying letter. Why did the police pick on Davis? It certainly wasn't due to their keen law enforcement instincts. Despite the screaming newspaper headlines about porno shop merchants, Davis is a well- known and respected business man. He runs a telephone goods and services company, selling equipment and special services like Centrex switching to local area businesses. He was operating Oklahoma Information Exchange, a widely reputed and very busy BBS. He was one of the founders of Fidonet, and was Region 19 coordinator for several years. In his CD-ROM business, he sold many titles (with adult titles accounting for a minute portion of his business), and produced his own Magnum CD-ROMs. Davis also had a fairly extensive age verification scheme to assure only adults were getting access to adult materials on his BBS. Memberships were which to those who had credit cards. In addition, to get access to the adult area users had to send Davis assigned letter stating they were over 21. Despite these measures, when the dust cleared Davis' standing as a businessman and his age verification procedures did nothing to slow down the police. After talking with Davis, his attorney and other local sources, the blame for his troubles should be laid on the creepy little deal the Oklahoma City police cooked up with the local ABC TV affiliate for the "You're Busted" television program. The TV station gave the police a professional video camera and the opportunity to shoot, script and narrate a TV program called "You're Busted". The payoff to the police was 15 minutes of fame on a weekly basis for individual cops, and great publicity and a high profile for police department as a whole. In return, the TV station received a TV show in hugely popular "reality television" format, an exclusive relationship with the police not enjoyed by other local stations, and, it would appear, very low production costs. A great business deal for the police and the television station, but terrible news for just about everyone else. For starters, the police end up paying less attention to protecting the community and more to show biz. On-the-scene arrests make the best TV, so the police will be more motivated to obtain search and arrest warrants and less concerned about whether the intrusion on peoples' lives is justified. In fact, the more individuals they intrude on, the better the "You're Busted" episode. The effect on the news media is just as bad. The local ABC affiliate falsely presents the police-made footage as "reality", when in fact it's been manufactured for TV just like all other TV fodder. The police may not be conversant with the finer points of constitutional law, but they're smart enough to know if they don't make a good show they'll be canned fast by the station. Further, the media, the proud "fourth estate", lets itself become no more than a flack for the local police. The public, as usual, is victimized on both ends. Its gets prosecution of the most entertaining instead of the most deserving, while the couch potatoes of Oklahoma City are served up a desperately skewed view of law enforcement and who are the criminals. Without the cop/show biz connection, Tony Davis might never have been busted. If the police had taken the trouble to investigate Davis' life a bit, they would have discovered that the adult CD-ROMs were only a small part of his business. Tony Davis is not a porn merchant, not the type of person to hold up to others as a bad example. Yet with their constant need to come up with new and exciting material on a TV production schedule, the police overlooked the reality of Davis' business. It fit their agenda better to bust Tony Davis with a bang with the whole world watching, than to quietly give Davis a word to the wise about the police department's newly formulated policies on digitized adult materials. Indeed, the police departments' failure to give Davis a little advance warning seems almost criminally negligent. According to assistant district attorney Lori Nettleton, "This is the first time that charges have been filed involving the use of computers in an obscenity case in Oklahoma County." A quick look at the laws under which Davis was charged shows they were on the Oklahoma statute books for almost ten years. Why did the police not act under them until now? One could argue the police themselves promoted the growth of the adult computer file business through their own laissez-faire attitude toward computer obscenity laws for the last ten years. Most people figure out whether something's illegal by looking to see if the police are arresting people for doing it. While this is no excuse for pursuing clearly criminal activity, Davis' acts were, at worst, in a grey area of arguable criminality. Now the police are overeager to make an example out of him, after entirely failing to give any guidance on just what counts as criminal conduct when it comes to adult materials. In the overzealous police raid and arrest of Tony Davis, everyone loses. Davis loses his freedom and his property, and he already lost much of his reputation as a business man. The users of the Oklahoma Information Exchange BBS lost. They trusted that they had rights of privacy from the government, and the Oklahoma City police betrayed that trust. The police will lose as well if they are held responsible for their gross violations of warrant procedures. If anyone decides to sue them, maybe they'll be kind enough to videotape it so we can watch it all later on TV. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Health Professions El Paso, TX ZyXEL (915) 590-9798 (1:381/61) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: VADE FORRESTER Number: 5748 To: DOUG CARPENTER Date: 10/05/93 8:23p Subj: WRONG SHIPMENT Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Doug, I screwed up.

Never looked at 'Southern Beauties' but I'm sure it's a disc worth keeping and there is no reason to liquidate this title--As long as there is no penetration, you are not playing with 'XXX'--There are so few that are licensed collections, and 'XX' (T&A, full frontal nudity) and SB is one of about 4--No need to dump it. Busty Babes II is also tame, and I would be lying to make a statement that any title is safe--That I don't know, but I do know that nobody has been prosecuted for softcore distribution. We went thru the expense of having our attorney, review our product, image by image, and he felt that no jury could find it 'Obscene'--So, we are not worried about the disc, but each state could be different, I dunno--You need to get the proper advice for your State, and make your own decisions, just like we did. With cable, satellite, video and mens mags, how could T&A on a different media be so horrible ? There are bigger fish to catch then chasing T&A folks--Again, my opinion only.

Hier die Fortsetzung: In den USA sind neuerdings 2000 C65 produziert worden (die Info hab ich von Master MM Soft persoenlich - Matthias Matting - in Deutschland ein bekannter PD-Versender, betreibt auch eine BBS - natuerlich 8 Bitter only). Der C65 soll folgende Eigenschaften haben: 128 KB Rom, 128 KB Ram, 3,5" Drive, Aufloesung 320*200 bei 256 Farben, Interlaced 1280*400, Stereo-Sid, Basic 10, eingebauter C64-Modus usw. usf. Uebrigens wuerde ich gerne mal erfahren was Du von den Archimedes-Rechnern aus England haeltst. Schliesslich laesst der aufgrund seiner Bauweise - RISC - alle Rechner hinter sich. Ich frage mich sowieso manchmal was der Mist soll bei INTEL! Die Prozessoren werden immer schneller und "besser", die Software wird dafuer in immer lahmeren Programmier- sprachen geschrieben und... Speicher zaehlt ja nix... ist alles im Ueberfluss vorhanden. So durfte ich es jedenfalls erfahren, als ich gleichzeitig dasselbe kleine Miniprg auf dem 64er in Assembler, auf PC in Turbo Pascal schreiben wollte. Der Maschinencode auf dem 64er benoetigte etwas an ein halbes KB, die compilierte Pascal-Datei (das EXE-File) benoetigte UEBER 5 Kilobyte. Ange- sichts dieser Speicherverschwendung zeigt sich ganz deutlich, COMPUTER schei- nen nur noch zum Angeben da zu sein, nicht mehr zum Arbeiten. Da wird geprahlt "ich habe einen 486DX2" (und der angesprochene XT 8088-User schluchzt), dann prahlt wieder einer "ich habe 64 MB on board (jaja, der angebliche CAD-User, der tatsaechlich aber nur Briefe damit schreibt)" usw. usf. So musste ich das jedenfalls x 1000mal im BTX erleben. Dort sind auch Diskussionsbretter im Gange, wo die Leute andere Compys zu Steinzeitschleudermaschinen verschimpfen usw. Also ich bleibe meinem 64er (besser: meinen 6 64ern) treu, komme, was kommen mag... ich kenne wenigstens alle Details dieses Computers, weil ich seit 1990 in Assembler darauf code (u.a. Demos). --- Maximus/2 2.01wb * Origin: Don't forget to call SABBS (2:246/1401.35) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BOB JACKSON Number: 5768 To: HANK PETERSON Date: 10/06/93 6:36a Subj: Industry changes Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Not on Fido.

Now the shoe is -> on the other foot :-). Hi Doug! The shoe fits more comfortably on this foot <g>. First of all, I should thank you - that experience showed me that there was a dire need for a Canadian supplier of CD-ROMs. That episode caused me to do a bit of a survey - I ordered from 9 of the dealers in this echo, and 5 dealers I found in the Computer Shopper. I noted things such as ease of ordering, how LONG it took to receive the package, etc. I placed future orders accordingly - and now that I'm on the other position, I know who I feel comfortable referring my clientele to if I can't help them. :-) You've left out some essential differences between the two incidents that I'm sure you noticed. Not only did you have my phone number, you also had my VISA number, which should shave half the time of any round trip off, not double it. Without it there would be a week between when the order was placed (dropped in the mailbox) and when a dealer receives it. You also probably noted that when I find a problem, I overkill it - 4 discs for the price of two, plus FedEx'ing which cost me nearly as much as the total the customer paid. As I've said before - I've been a customer longer than I've been a dealer. I do my best to make _sure_ that no one gets left hanging the way I experienced.

I want to be able to access a CDROM accross a network. I am using a simple proprietary netowrk, similiar to PROMISElan by Moses software. It's called MainLan Easy. Have little network card snad phone cable. Have two machines, one more or less acts as as server in my situation. On this server one, I tried putting a Mitsumi with its 16bit card. I can get a dir, but that is it. Won't copy or even type a file. And even on a long dir, its jumpy when it scrolls. If I check a hard drive over there, its barely any difference than a local HD. I was curious if maybe it was some conflict over there with New Mitsumi (which worked fine on the local machine); so I tried going from machine #2 to server, since I have a SONY that works great on #2, and get same exact effect. If I try to copy, I get a "WRITE" error on source, not destination! Do you think my network is too "weak" to handle CD technology or do I need to go SCSI instead of the proprietary setups?

It may be your network cards and/or software that's creating a performance problem. If your cards are 8-bit cards, you'll be limited to the amount of throughput the cards can handle. I have 8-bit Ethernet cards for my setup and I get just under 2meg/sec, but I'm running LAN Services on OS/2 2.1. Also, I don't know what capabilities phone wire has, so you may look into that too. As to the errors on the CD-ROM drive, you may try to see what the settings are for your userid to that shared device. If you only allow for it to view the shared device, that's all it's going to do. ...

Thanks for any comments. Well Randy, we sell both. It's kind of like comparing Fords and Chevys. 8) Night Owl 10 has a higher percentage of "newer" files in the August and September range, but it also has a higher percentage of "older" files in the January to March range. All things considered, with the future of both companies one of them, I personally prefer the Pier 3. MUCH BETTER interface, accurate ZIP dates, clean file listings, plus the fact that I KNOW there will be a Pier 4. Not so sure about Night Owl 11, with the pending six-figure damage settlement hanging over Richard Graham's head. (this is all public info) What's more, I'll give you a better price: Get your best *legitimate* price on Night Owl 10, and I'll sell you a Pier 3 for $5 less. At this time, Ismail's price of $20 on Night Owl 10 cannot be verified, so until he actually has them in stock and selling at that price, his ad is excluded. If file dates are important to you: Pier 3: Approx. 98% of files dated newer than 4/1/93 N.O. 10: Approx. 90% of files dated newer than 4/1/93 Later, .\\ike STARVECTOR SOFTWARE * PO BOX 8160 * YAKIMA WA 98908 * 509-457-2892 (VOICE) VISA * MC * AMEX * DISCOVER * SHIPPING: $4 up to 5 pcs / $.50 ea pc over 5 --- * SLMR 2.1a * This tagline contains 100% NutraSweet --- MMGR +Plus+ v3.00 * Origin: Threshold of Origin 509-453-3283 Home of The Chat DOOR (1:3407/101) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: MIKE SHANNON Number: 5839 To: GARY GILMORE Date: 10/05/93 11:26p Subj: Need a CD Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No GG> I'm looking for the cheapest price on the GG> "Shareware Vault/Gold" CDROM. $25 delivered. .\\ike STARVECTOR SOFTWARE * PO BOX 8160 * YAKIMA WA 98908 * 509-457-2892 (VOICE) VISA * MC * AMEX * DISCOVER * SHIPPING: $4 up to 5 pcs / $.50 ea pc over 5 --- * SLMR 2.1a * Used taglines for $ale - 8 bits each.

And he's right. This message will explain the problem so that it won't happen in the future. To the letter of FidoNet's policy, commercial advertising in an echo is prohibited. The reality is that FidoNet *tolerates* commercial traffic as long as it's done in moderation and meets the echo's intent. There's a point where messages exit the toleration zone. The reason commercial advertising isn't officially allowed is a good one: The amatuers who operate (and pay for) this network shouldn't have to absorb the costs of putting money into someone else's pocket. And that's fair enough. We've ventured outside of the toleration zone. Some vendors are using this echo to conduct "one on one" business with their customers - posts that don't "benefit everyone". These type messages will no longer be tolerated. Example: FS>> I just got the XYZ disc. I love it FS>> and think it's great. Thanks for FS>> being born. Hello, Fred... I'm glad we could be of service to you. Call me anytime if you need any more CDs. We love to make people happy and sell them CDs. Call me anytime and we'll be happy to make you happy again. Thank you. Bend over. Thanks, Joe Vendor Or something like that <seg>... ANYHOW, let's put a stop to "one on one" type messages.

Unfortunately, it still took 3 weeks round trip, and customs decided that charging the G.S.T., etc. a second time would be a good idea. :( We offer to replace or give complete credit for any defective CD-ROM.

You had better quit preaching your line about me being your employee, and being fired by you. For the record: the only involvement I had with you and/or GroupWare was when we (you and I) decided to set up a dummy company called "CrossRoads Computers" in order to reach more customers, because GroupWare's reputation was less than reputable. After I discovered you to be stealing profits, I (not you) terminated our business relationship. And all your threats ever since have gone in one ear and out the other. That bothers you, don't it? It bothers you that you can't push people around. Get it through your head, asshole: I am not intimidated by you, nor will I be. Why don't you buy a one way ticket back to the sand you call home, and leave our fine country alone? It's unethical immigrants like you who give American businesses a bad name.

Following this echo, I find a few good, deep reviews, and occasional snippets of information. There are a few occasional reviews in print media. All this covers about 10 per cent of what's out there today. All I know about the other 90 percent is the title and price in a listing. It's hard to think of shelling out 30 - 40 - 50 bux based on a title and the minimal information on the case notes (or on the title alone if you want the savings of buying here instead of in stores). I don't think this is necessarily the responsibility of the authoring company, the distributor, or the reseller, though it would help if they would recognize the void and were willing to try to fill it. There is a great void here, and a great opportunity for someone. --- ■ SLMR 2.1a ■ --- TMail v1.31.5 * Origin: * 20/20 TBBS * 312-769-1227 @2400 * 275-1785 @9600 (1:115/769) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: TIM HELTON Number: 5894 To: LEE NOGA Date: 10/09/93 2:27p Subj: Inside tip Refer: 9307 Read: 01/03/94 3:42p Private: No -> Don't you love this echo for it's ability to get information out to a -> range of users and publishers etc--Well, for all the closet publisher And we appreciate your input :) tim moderator ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: TIM HELTON Number: 5895 To: DAVE REED Date: 10/09/93 2:46p Subj: Queer Refer: 9351 Read: NO Private: No -> Hello Ismail!

FWIW, I have done business with Doug twice now, and he has been very timely in his deliveries, and he even refunded some money on a cd that had lowered in price after I had ordered it. Now I ask you, what more could you ask??? He is a little hard to get ahold of sometimes, but he has ALWAYS returned all my calls, usually the same day. I just wish that ALL the dealings on this net went as well as the ones I've had with Doug.
