Well then you must be aware of the situation! I mean, we can't have
guys posting messages putting down people like yourself just because of
your sexual preference. Some of my best friends are Co__ksuckers, Ooops I
mean Gay, like yourself. It's terrible that small minded people should
have such strongly held, violent reactions against people like yourself.
I really admire you for coming out and declaring your sexual preference
for all to see. That must take alot of guts. Alot more guts than it takes
to throw around ignorant insults.

That is NOT the case - every jewel case I have seen sold by such sources DID
include the insert. And $1 with NO INSERT is a blatant ripoff.

Censorship is EQUALLY possible to a private group - it is WORSE when a
governmental organization does it as THAT form of censorship generally leaves
no recourse.
In the PC Mag case, governmental PRESSURE appears to have been applied, and
therefore it DEFINITELY qualifies as censorship - even by YOUR limited
definition.

No it's not. Knowing that jewell cases cost $0.25 each, that leaves
only $0.75 profit per case. Sell 100 jewell cases & you'll make a
whopping $75.00.... Instead of this hassle you could sell 5 CDs and
make the same amount of money.
Most dealers have better things to do with their time than piddling
around with jewell cases, hence the pricing.

It's worse than slavery because religious dogma is often used as
justification for the censorship.
Censorship is nothing more than a *tool* used by governments to exert
*control* over the people. As government's control increases, our
ability to eliminate the control decreases. With censorship, the
swine who run our governments are able to keep their jobs and
perpetuate their censorship/control agendas.

OK boys and girls. Damar Enterprises announces ANOTHER new release!
The CD PowerBox Version 2.00
We just went to press on this and it is scheduled for shipment to the better
dealers in this echo on December 15, 1993. The disk has been checked against
itself, Pier3 and NOWL10 for duplication (and virsus, of course).
The % dupes between PowerBox2 and NOWL10 - 7.94%
PIER3 - 12.85%
So, why would you be interested in the PowerBox 2 over these other 2? Well,
first off, the PowerBox 2 has NEWER files! As new as November 13, 1993!
Second off, the PowerBox 2 has over 500 MORE files than the NOWL10 disk and,
get
this folks, over 1000 more than PIER3! These are the NEWEST and GREATEST files
available right now AND IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS. OK, that's it from me - contact
your favorite dealer for pre-orders and if they don't carry the PowerBox 2,
tell
them to call us for dealer pricing!!
Oh yeah, almost forgot - the PowerBox 2 features the UNIVERSAL INTERFACE! This
is a GUI based on the need by YOU for a single standard front end for your
various different shareware disks! No longer do you need to mess around with
the others' GUI, use the UNIVERSAL INTERFACE - found ONLY on Damar Enterprises
CD-ROMS.

Hands down, Windy City Freedom Fortress' (a.k.a. NixPix) Hot Pix #1. Hard
to find ('cuz it contains some blatantly illegal material) and relatively
expensive. Try Goosebump Graphics (advertises in the back of Computer Shopper
and other computer mags) or the WCFF BBS itself (somewhere near Chicago,
I think). WARNING: This CD is *NOT* for the casual porno fan; it contains some
truly "fringe" material that will appeal to only a very tiny number of people
and will revolt and disgust all the rest. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!
Also, a number of people have experienced some difficulty with their CD drives
being able to read this CD, or at least some portions of it. In particular,
some of the older Mitsumi drives and some Tandy drives seem to have these
problems.
FWIW: This is the first of your messages that I recall seeing.

I guess you missed the point. I do not purchase any of the XXX material
myself. I just do not like the Idea that someone can effect what is
available to the public by using their position. I appreciate that it
is their playpen and they can make the rules ( as you do ). But they
accepted the adds during the beginning years of the magazine. Why the
change now. Are they being more politically correct now ?. My crack
about the Female editor was out of line. However, it seems that the
females are at the forefront of efforts to eliminate so called
Pornography. It's the same old problem. WHO DEFINES WHAT IS
ACCEPTABLE ?? I do not give YOU that right. I still make those
decisions for myself.

NH> Hello Everybody.
NH> I've been thinking of buying a CD-ROM drive and You all seem to
NH> have experience with the hardware (at least Your own).
I have been using a Toshiba 3301 drive, 64K cache, 290 ms seek time
and 155 KB/sec transfer rate (single speed). The programs used
most on the computer are Compton MPC Encyclopedia and Microsoft
Dinosaurs. The seek is fast and the video runs smoothly. This or
similar drive probably represents the minimum requirement for MPC
application.
NH> So, my question is:
NH> If You were to start all over again, what sort of things do I
NH> need to look for. Dual Speed, KODAK Photo compability, External
NH> or Internal, ?, ....?
Well, it depends on your application and how deep your pocket is.
If the sole purpose is to bring software update online, you should
buy the least expensive drive . If you want to run multimedia and
are not limited in budget, get a NEC Multispin 3X drive with an
Adaptec bus mastering host adapter (model depends on you
motherboard bus). In between, the priority of features are:
(1) 64K cache minimum, 256K perferred. This is the most important
feature to get smoothly video clip runs.
(2) 300 ms seek time minimum, 200 ms perferred. This gives you
fast access to data. Double spin/transfer rate does not seem to
have a strong impact on most operations.
(3) Caddy based drive. You are unlikely to have more than one
dirve or use only one CD-ROM. Caddy allows safe handling of
the CD for fast switching. Motor tray drives are usually much
cheaper, but they cut corners in more than one way.
(4) SCSI bus. Proprietry controllers are more likely to lose
support in the future.
(5) Dual or triple spin is the wave of the future, but current
software does not show much difference in performance. They are
not a requirement, but there is no reason not to get a dual or
triple spin drive unless there is a large cost difference.
(6) Most current model are Kodak Photo-CD compatible, but you don't
need it to run commercial software.
NH> Well, I hope at least one of You guys can give me some advice.

We have taken a few back in trade, but from the information I read from Ray
Herold at TCM, (he prepares the CD's for Night Owl's), they prefer to have
you send the CD directly to them for exchange. The address is:
Night Owl Publisher
1611 Falconer Stillwater Rd.
Jamestown, NY 14701
You can ship it to me if you prefer, but it may take a little longer, as I
don't have the recut version in stock yet. Your choice.
CJ> latent files and still sold the disc. I would hate to think
CJ> you'd do this. So, please tell me what's up.
I did sell some (like everyone else) before I knew the viruses existed on
the CD, but after the reports were confirmed, I only sold a few to people
who either were aware of the problem, or who I made aware of it. Quite
frankly, I'm disgusted with the whole Night Owl scenario, with the continual
recuts, virus alerts, commercial files, on and on and on......and have not
been promoting the product. Rumor has it that Night Owl's is now facing a
$600,000 (not $425,000) damage settlement, and it, along with the virus
problems will sink them. Time will tell.............

Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm certainly not an expert
on this thing, but from this information, it would appear that Night Owl's
had all the resources they needed RIGHT THERE, IN HAND, to prevent these
viruses from getting onto the CD! Am I missing something, or is that an
accurate conclusion?
I wanted to check the CD itself, to make sure that the file listing wasn't
a misprint or something, so I unzipped the SCANV108 file and read the file
inside called "VIRLIST.TXT", which lists all the viruses that the current
version of SCAN can detect. Here is an excerpt from that listing, exactly
as it came from the Night Owl 10 CD-ROM:
.
.
Burghofer [Bgh] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 525 L O P
Busted [Bst] Clean-Up . . . x x . . . . . Overwrites O P
Butterfly [Bfly] Clean-Up . . . . x . . . . . 302 O P
B_Ugly [BUG] Clean-Up . . . x x . . . . . 552 O P
C [CV] Clean-Up . . . . x x . . . . N/A O P
.
.
Mem Lapse 323 [ML323] Clean-Up . . . . x . . . . . 323 O P
Mem Lapse 375 [ML375] Clean-Up . x . . x . . . . . 375 O P
Memory Lapse [ML] Clean-Up . . . x x x . . . . Unknown O P
Merry Xmas [mXs] Clean-Up . . x . . x . . . . Varies O P
Mexican Mud [Mex] Clean-Up . . . x x . . . . . 575 P L
.
.
Now, as I understand it, the two viruses found on the disc were the
"Butterfly", and the "Memory Lapse", so from this evidence, it seems
painfully obvious to me that if they had utilized the McAfee SCAN version
108 which they had in their possession, this virus infection would not have
happened.
Maybe I've missed something, or maybe I'm looking at this too
simplistically, so I welcome anyone's input or rebuttal if my analysis is
faulty. Nonetheless, this new information is causing me to seriously
rethink my position on whether to stock Night Owl's products. I'm starting
to believe that the risk involved with selling a CD product line from a
company with lackadaisical virus-checking practices, is just too high.

I'll be glad to interject here. Night Owl's Publishing is being sued by
at least two parties that I know of. The first one being the programmer
who wrote the user interface system, and the second being the gentleman
who was involved with the CD's when they were still called "CARRS". As for
the current lawsuit with their programmer, apparently he is suing for
treble damages resulting from non-payment of his commission fees on the
discs that were sold. Trial is reportedly over, with the exact dollar
amount of the judgement still forthcoming. From the rumors I've heard,
it's in the half-million dollar vicinity. Ouch!
The second lawsuit apparently was initiated by Richard Graham's former
partner, who launched the whole Night Owl's campaign with his CARRS discs.
Haven't heard too many details on that one, but it's another big-figure
suit.
Later,

Too Much to write here. If you want, give me an address and
I'll send you descriptions.
I keep getting asked for these descriptions, and they are
very logical requests. I just don't want to lock-up yards
and yards, and tons and tons or net-system resources to send
them here.
If it's easier, call us at (612) 890-4750 and we'll read them
to you or leave your address there.
Thanks

JL> You will not find a better shareware disc.....
Considering that this has not yet been released, and you are
giving it your highest recommendation, I can only assume that
either you are producing the disc yourself, or you have seen
the files listing for the disc. In either case, I'd be very
interested in carrying this disc if it is as good or better
than other currently available shareware discs.
(1) Do you have a files listing available and, if so, would
you please it to me (or tell me where to f'req it)?
(2) If you are producing this disc, would you please send me
dealer pricing information and/or publicity materials
when it becomes available? Also, a store demo would be
appreciated.

Hey Randy, let me say this disc is 1500 images of gorgeous professional women
on Harley Davidson's--The images are leather bikini's progressing to total
beaver shots--These images have appeared in EasyRider, Harley Davidson posters,
and calenders etc--This series of disc will have several volumns, which archive
this photographer from 1975 to cuurent--Some gorgeous vintage Harleys, with the
red smoke in the background. This disc is magazine quality, and is rated "X"
T&A only. All the bikes are Harleys. Every image has a Harley in it.
Majority of the ladies went on to be playmates and penthouse centerfolds.
Hope this helps ! Will be released in Jan '94--.

Well once again, he promised to send a disc for the one I sent him.
Three times, once reg mail, once UPS 2 day, once 2 day FEDEX. Nothing.
The disc I sent him was an adult disc and he was to send me an adult one
back. It's been so long I forgot the name. He said he would autograph
it for me as he was the producer (author?) of it. Anyway, I am just out
the disc and have learned another lesson. I don't expect someone other
than him to correct the situation. Thanks for the offer of a disc but
it's not your fault I got ripped. TTYL, Randy

MS>Interesting. I've had a few customers request it, but I've never looked at
MS>one. What is it that makes it "macabre"?
Hi, Mike:
Well, for starters, it has GIFs showing such things as people (or what's
left of them) fatally injured by bomb blasts; executed by guillotine;
some having had radical surgery performed to various extremities of
their bodies; infants who have been crushed in car accidents; previously
unreleased (and for good reason) photos of murder victims; and so many
more "delightful" things to feed ones mind on.
Also, there are numerous sections relating on how to forge documents and
use stolen credit cards, how to assemble and find the "best places" to
detonate bombs so as to do the most harm, etc.
Lots more I didn't bother to read or look at. Is there REALLY a market
for this trash??? I think I would classify this as macabre. What do you
think? Maybe I've been leading a "sheltered" life way up here in the
Great White North... NOT! With a family of five children of my own, I
really can't see the advantage of publicizing such things for
individuals -- young or old -- to gaze upon. The world is filled with
enough tragedy brought to us free-of-charge by the Evening News, let
alone paying to look at this stuff.
No, Mike, when any of my customers ask about buying certain titles
such as "Forbidden Subjects", I feel obligated to let them know what
they're purchasing. I do not hesitate in loosing a sale to my
competitors. But, hey, what do I know...
Best Regards,
Hayden Bradshaw

True, I don't set the rules for you or anybody else, thankfully. What a
heavy burden that would be!! I do, however, set the rules for my
immediate family -- since I and my wife are responsible for their
actions. In fact, I wouldn't want to take responsibility for anyone
else's actions. That's why I have set the boundaries for my Company as
to what we purchase and sell to the public.
Undoubtedly, PC Mag feels a similar duty. Whether it's "politically
correct" or not has no bearing on the matter, because as a business
owned by people answerable to the "powers that be", they have a right to
decide what they print, how they print it, and when they print it. You
and I don't have to buy it if we don't want. But, say, aren't you
dictating to people what they should and shouldn't buy by asking them to
basically boycott this publication because you feel "our" freedoms have
been stepped upon?
But then, what do I know...
Best regards. :-)

We Have Sampler Single Disks (that are 1 rev -- or about
2 months -- old). They are the discs only, without the indexes,
COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL AND WITH ALL THE DATA!!!
They include utilities and programs covering: ASM, C, C++,
AutoCAD, Xbase, DOS, Games, Hardware Demos, HomePC, Jokes,
Multimedia, Netware, ObjectVision, Quick Basic, Paradox,
Small Business, TrueType Fonts, TurboPascal, Visual Basic,
Windows, and a PC Products Database.
Personally, this disc has been a real resource for us in our
computer room. (Previously, it was just the way they handled
their indexing that bothered us.) They have changed that in the
Current versions. Remember, the Full-Fledged current versions
are Currently $59.95 from EMS; Our Sale Price is $49.95.

You've got it backwards Chris. The politically correct crowd are the
liberals who approve of this stuff. You know, the pro gay, pro lesbo gang.
The gang who says "if it feels good, do it." The gang who says that people
should be able to do anything they want with no responsibility of their
actions. The gang who os presently fighting for a UCLA Berkley student's
right to walk around butt naked on campus because it's his "freedom of
expression." THAT is politcal correctness.
BTW, censorship occurs only when some form of expression is prohibited by
law, NOT when a privately owned publication chooses not to advertise an
item. That is THEIR right. They are not mandated by anyone to advertise
everything that is thrown at them.
National Geographic magazine (and many others) will not publish cigarette
ads. Is that censorship? Of course not.
Now, back to the topic. What was it again?? <g>.

I'll take a stab at it.
G - General Audiences - suitable for children.
PG and PG-13 - Parential Guidance - not recommended for children under the age
of 13. Usually means that there is some rough language or too much violence
for small children.
R - Restricted - children under 17 not permitted without an accompanying adult.
More rough language or violence or partial nudity or any combination thereof.
NC-17 - No children under 17 - children under 17 not permitted under any
circumstances. Adult themes but still respectable movies made by big budget
movie production studios. If "Last Tango in Paris" was released today, it
would probably qualify here.
X - Adult - No children under 17 permitted (obsolete designation taken over by
the pornographic film industry.) New productions wearing this flag or
derivatives such as XXX are the adult movie trade featuring a lot of bedroom
scenes for 60 to 75 minutes.

I don't know if Wal-Mart has the same prices all across the country, but the
stores in northeastern Illinois are clearing out Mixed Up Mother Goose on
CD-rom for only $10. If you have a store in your area, check it out. I
know the store in my town has already sold out.
I have all 3 of discs that you mentioned but I'm not trading them at this
time. I will say that all of these discs are excellent for young children,
especially Just Grandma and Me. Arthur's Teacher Trouble is better for 7
years or older so they can play the spelling game. But it is okay for
younger children too as they can still click on everything in sight and watch
the funny animations.

Your being a little simplistic aren't you. There has always been forms
of censorship, some more onerous than others. You can't have groups
interacting socially without some kinds of agreed upon limits. That's
censorship. I think we would all agree that pictures of people being
tortured or pictures of kids being raped would be questionable material
for say a 5th grade History Primer, even though one couldn't argue that
such events happened frequently in the past (and present). The debate
isn't over whether or not there should be censorship but over the degree
of censorship. . .
Censorship occurs because groups within the society demand certain
limitations on social discourse for various reasons. Now, certain women
(and men) may be objecting to having suggestive pictures of women in a
computer mag. If the pictures were of bestiality or child abuse then, I
believe, that a larger segment of society would be objecting to those
pictures. That's how a society works; different groups have to live
together and they set limits on social discourse in order to create a
harmonious society. Those limits, censorship, are all around us. We
couldn't have a functioning society without them.

What is the basis for this statement? I don't think you have a basis, other
than "personal opinion." There is NO appearance that ANY pressure from ANY
group was applied. PC Magazine made a decision, which they are free to do. I
feel they implemented a policy that's fair to both sides. All they did was
remove the pictures. XXX can still be advertised, just without the enticing
pictures. Any reputable magazine would not want such pictures in their pages.
Especially when they're trying to reach such a wide audience.

FS>I will agree with the statement that if you cut a price 10% that you must

FS>the 43% and 150% numbers. I'll post this scenario and you tell me if my
FS>figuring is correct. It's been years since I really applied mathematics.
OK. Let's say your cost on a CD-ROM is $10. Add a 50% markup and sell
it for $15. Your profit = $5. Now deduct 10% off the selling price.
$15 - 10% = $13.50. Profit is now $3.50. You are now making $35 on every
ten you sell, instead of the $50 you were making before. To get back to
your $50 profit level, you must now sell 43% more CD-ROMs than before.
Examples:
Prior to 10% discount: 10 CD-ROMs sold @ $15 = $50 profit.
After 10% discount: 10 CD-ROMs sold @ $13.50 = $35 profit.
After 43% sales increase: 14.3 CD-ROMs sold @ $13.50 = $50.05 profit.
As you can see, by increasing sales 43% (i.e. selling 14.3 CD's, compared
to 10 before) we are able to recoup the profit that was lost due to the 10%
discount. Here is the same example with a 20% discount:
Prior to 20% discount: 10 CD-ROMs sold @ $15 = $50 profit.
After 20% discount: 10 CD-ROMs sold @ $12 = $20 profit.
After 150% sales increase: 25 CD-ROMs sold @ $12 = $50 profit.
FS>You sell 10 items at $10 with a 50% markup for a profit of $50 ($5 each)
FS>You sell 12.5 items at $9 representing a 10% discount, profit $50 ($4 ea
The reason your figures are different is because your definition of
"markup" is not quite correct. In your example above, you are actually
using a 100% markup, not 50% as I use in my examples. To sell an item at
$10, while making $5 profit on each one, as you indicate above, means a
"markup" of 100% on each item. In other words, you are buying it for $5,
marking it up another $5 (100%), and doubling your money. What you are
referring to is a 50% PROFIT MARGIN, not a 50% markup. To sell an item at
$10 with a 50% "markup", equates to a dealer cost of $6.67 on each item,
not $5.
FS>If my calculations are correct to this point, then sales must increase 25%
FS>to maintain the same profit for a 10% discount
Again, this assumption is correct, figuring a 100% markup, not the 50% I
used in my example.
Take care,
.\\ike

We now have too many of the Hitachi model 3500 in our inventory, as
I've found another source & bought them out;-) We also added another
model to our refurbished list, being the NEC model 36.
The Hitachi model 3500's are being shipped out this week. I presume
you want these for BBS usage, since you mention having two now. We are
selling drives without guarantee of working audio for $99.98 each. If
you want and audio working drive, then the price is $125.00 We also
ahve all of the accessories in inventory except the external cables,
which are being made and parts purchased(we ran out) and should be
available for shipping in about a week.
Thanks for asking & if I may be of further assistance, just ask.

I just got my first disk, and I'm having some annoying problems out of
it. I run SuperBBS and don't use a CDROM door, but maybe I should. Sometimes
one file area will say "Files.BBS not found". The extended descriptions are
being displayed odd too. The first line shows in the normal colors like it
should, but the remaining lines are white. I copied the files.bbs to my Hd and
removed the "|" before the description, and it didn't change anything.
I also heard Norton Commander and TSRs can create a problem with CDROMs
too. Is this something that could keep a ROM drive from running correctly?
What I really want to know is what the chances are of having a bad
disk?
Thanks

Are you still replacing the disc for those that purchased it from you. If so, I

William, I fully realize that all Sysops can read and send private
messages. I chose to send that message private because it was intended
to be to the receiver only. I DO NOT "Shrink" from the statements I made
nor do I really care who reads it. The bottom line is this:
1. There are thousands of GOOD Sysops in this world, who operate their
systems in a professional manner, with efficiency and INTEGRITY. They
provide a wonderful service to millions of computer users such as myself
and we appreciate it have great respect for them. These SYSOPS, RESPECT
THEIR USERS.
2. Then---There are a FEW Sysops (and only a few, thankfully) who, for
whatever reasons, are COMPLETELY LACKING IN PROFESSIONLISM, ETHICS AND
INTEGRITY when it comes to operating their systems and respecting their
users. They usually don't remain on the BBS scene for long and for
obvious reasons. The sad thing is,that while they are on the scene,
they tend to SOIL the Overall good reputation and high esteem in which
GOOD SYSOPS are held.
Which of the above categories do you fall into??

Michael, my suggestion would be thus: Since you are so keen on this, why
don't you look into producing and publishing the suggested disc in
question? I would also suggest that you accumulate a great deal of
shareware programs to use as filler on this disc because I think the
subject matter you propose to use will prove to be almost non-existent.
If you want to continue with non-CD-RomSale debate, I suggest you take
it to an appropriate forum. Thanks...

Gary, Since I have only been BBSing for a couple of years, I asked a few
Sysop friends wht the deal was on the "Private" marking that you can
choose when you make replies. Also, what the difference was between
echomail and netmail. They informed me that there is no difference
between echomail and netmail and that if or when I choose the
"Private" option, that only Sysops, Co-Sysops or someone that they have
given "read access" to can read that message. They also told me that
nothing would prevent, any one of these Sysops, Co-Sysops or persons
with Sysop-granted read access, from making my message available to
general-user viewing, except for them possessing the qualities of a
"GOOD SYSOP" that I alluded to in my message to William Wright. (refer
to my message to him). If the facts that I have been given are accurate,
then the content of my message to Mr. Wright apply here too. Thanks...

Hi Arnie. No, I am not bragging on my own work. I am one of a handful
of dealers chosen to carry Big Sky. I am not sure what the criteria
was, but the producers didn't want to see the cut-throat type of deals
you see with other titles such as Night Owls. I am very familiar with
the first Big Sky Rom, and have it online my BBS. The producers are
very receptive to suggestions and have made it a breeze for sysops to
configure. They go through a lot to ensure all files are thoroughly
checked out, and the file descriptions and dates are accurate. It
surprised me that they want it to sell for only $19, but I respect their
decision, and I am sure that it will be a tremendous seller. I know the
quality is there.
AG>(1) Do you have a files listing available and, if so, would

Not yet. I'll see if I can get it soon.
I'll pass your info along to the producers.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
yeah it's a review. Here Joe!
This game is full video. Great for the person who wants to test out
their new drive. There is really no action that I know of. The acting
is quite superb. The one and only drawback, is that there is no action.
It's basically who to interrogate when. That's as far as I've gotten.
There is a plus. There are 3 different cases to play through: The Case
Of The Mummy's Curse, The Case Of The Tin Soldier, and the Case Of The
Mystified Murderess. Each with its own set of actors, and video clips.
The stories are modeled after Sherlock Holmes cases, so if you like
those, I strongly suggest it. I personally wasn't that enthusiastic
about it. I just like watching it. If you are into Sherlock Holmes, and
like a good mystery, this is the most complex, and fun one that I've seen.

And another:
Loom is a game about magic, with a hidden message of music, but you
don't really about that, do you? Well, you are a student of magic, and
everyone is out against you. After a few minutes into the game, you have
a staff, which lets you cast spells, but first you have to figure out to
cast the spell (with which notes. That's the music part). The game
starts where you can cast very few spells, because you can only use three
notes. But that is where the game starts the challenge. Getting the
rest of the notes, and figuring out the spell. The speech is good, but
not great (you can hear the guys lip smacking together when he says the
line: Well, I guess that isn't a draft.), but the graphics are very good,
for the games of the time. The interface stinks. The left button of the
mouse is to walk to something. The right is to look at it. The staff is
where the action takes place. I recommend this game for kids age 3-8.
**** for that age category!

Hello All!
I have read a few messages referencing Software Vault no longer being
RELEASED with ROMDOOR PREMADE Databases. I find Software Vault an
excellent CD-Rom Disk as good as Night Owl.
The main deciding factor between me purchasing Software Vault versus
Night Owl has been the ability to copy over the Romdoor Premade
Databases and be up and running with the disk online within 3 minutes..
If this is untrue I would appreciate someone letting me know so I can
continue using Software Vault CD ROMS. If not I guess I will be moving
back over to the Night Owl CD Roms..

I was REALLY disappointed with BUSTY BABES II. The quality of the scans is
excellent but no one told me that most of the disks consists of regular
sharewware programs, Thats right, less than 1/2 of the files are Busty Babes.
The rest are files that are all on Night Owl, Pier 3, etc.

>>stuff, more the "best no matter HOW old it might happen to be" stuff.
>>They didn't put the search engine on the CD?
I have been working, for the last few months, on a general purpose
search engine for BBS file bases. The idea is that it will eventually become a
door to be used on-line. I intend to offer this as a service for users and
SysOp's alike. The "engine" works on words in the file descriptions and
operates EXTREMELY quickly. I have 6 CDs and 2Gb on-line here with 41856 files
all together, the text "files list" is around 5Mb.
The off-line engine will find ANY file from any word or combination
of words given in about a second. Searching for "hard" combinations can take a
little longer. Looking for "-93" for example turns up over 17000 files and it
takes about 3 seconds to locate the list, on a 386 <grin>.
Lists can be printed to the printer or output to a file. The on-line
version has direct file tagging for Maximus BBSs.
If you have your BBS file list in PCB format, it's just a convenient
format <grin>, then send it to me and I'll send a copy of the engine and
database for your CD. Database size is about 3.5Mb per CD on average.
Send a couple of diskettes and your files lists and take a test.

It is the same thing as the full OS/2 2.1 without Windows. This so IBM does
not have to pay a licensing fee for Windows 3.1 to Microsoft. OS/2 uses the
Windows already on the drive. It does not run under Windows.
To stay on topic, the CD version includes several things the diskette version
does not. I believe most of the extras are multimedia movies and sound.

This was something that Bob Jackson pointed out in his review. We
are making an effort to get more variety of shots on future
productions.
DW>> I like that Busty has 1,000 different scans on it and the
DW>> shareware is a nice extra.
IMHO, when a disc indicates on the packaging that a bonus of
200M of Shareware is provided, I would expect there to be more
GIFs than Shareware. Also Shareware discs cost a good bit
less than quality adult image discs. But, again I am glad that
you are satisfied with the disc.

Southern Beauties contains 1,003 GIF images and advertised 1,000
on the back cover. The 234 TIFs are 24 bit true color files that
are duplicates of the best images of the 1,003 GIFs provided on
the disc. The GIFs on Southern Beauties are ALL (Hi-Res) 1024 x
768 x 256. The GIFs on Busty Babes Vol II are a mix of 1024 x
768 x 256 and 800 x 600 x 256, which could explain the difference
in the amount of megs between the two discs containing approx.
1,000 GIFs. On the back cover of the disc, we provided the FACTS
of Total Megabytes, number of GIFs, and the fact that the disc
contained 300M of the best GIFs in 24 bit True Color. The
purchaser was fully aware of what he/she was receiving by reading
the packaging.

DW>> and competition that may really jade your opinion of this

DW>> get such rave reviews either.
What I put in the post you refer to was a list of FACTS. If you
felt they were incorrect, please let me know which ones. In another
post I sent to ALL today, I included a reprint of that post which
you can refer to if you do not have a copy. As for your comment
about Southern Beauties not getting such rave reviews either, I am
a bit confused. Below are some of the complementary things Bob
Jackson said about Southern Beauties in his review. I am NOT
intending on hiding the critical or uncomplementary things he
said about the disc, as there were good constructive comments
made on how to improve the disc. We certainly paid close attention
to these comments and will always try to improve each production.
Although as he states below, " It has so much right going for it
that its "positives" overwhelm its "negatives".
From Bob Jackson's review:
Make no mistake, these are large files (more on this later in
the VISUAL section).
Visual
======
The production values of SB are quite high. To begin, the jewel box
has beautiful full-color inserts both front and back, with the front
cover insert being two-sided. As an added bonus, the images on the
inserts are true WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get. The
pictures thus shown are also scans on the CD - a delightful change
from some other adult material. Secondly, a great number of the
scans are FULL SCREEN in size. Oh, what a welcome sight! Thank
you GIoF! Those that aren't truly full screen are either full screen
in height or width, with the other dimension being well-proportioned.
In short, there's NO lack of eyewash on this CD, and no need to
squint or "zoom in". Other producers take note: The standard in this
regard has been forever raised.
The quality of the scans in SB is, in general, very high. To begin,
let there be no mistake, the women of SB are gorgeous! Not only that,
but they all seem to know it and are damn proud of it, thank you very
much! If you're a sighted, heterosexual male (i.e. a card-carrying
member of SB's targeted audience), and you subscribe to the
mainstream of thinking about what represents feminine pulchritude,
you're sure to find at least one, and probably several, "Fantasy
Lovers" on this CD. If you can't, you're either one sexually burned
out puppy, or you lied about meeting the above criteria.
Other welcome amenities are, for example, models that are
professionally made up, including attentions to detail like manicured
fingernails; the use of new/fresh props and sets; etc. GIoF
obviously paid a LOT of attention to the production of this CD, and
it shows.
Bottom line: SB is a winner. If you don't have need for a BBS-able
CD, and don't want the XXX stuff (tho' some scans in DUO13 & 14 and
TRIO come pretty close), SB will knock your socks off with LARGE
images of beautiful women in beautiful poses. (I fell in love, or at
least lust, several times!) To use a baseball metaphor, SB is at
least a triple for sure. Correct a few things, add a GUI like
SHOWOFF, and you'd have an out-of-the-park home run, Nonetheless,
SB raises the ante for adult CDs considerably. It has so much right
going for it that its "positives" overwhelm its "negatives". Truly,
the main fault that I find with the CD, fixation on one type of pose,
others might find to be it's strongest suite - and that's A-OK.
This is the CD that Digital Dreams (Ero Tek) and Giffy Gold were
trying to be, but failed by a wide margin. If you liked either one
of them, plop down your money and get SB. BTW: Add a seat belt to
the chair if front of your PC before you start - you'll need it!
The TIFs images were selected from the best of the GIFs (it shows)
but only after the GIFs names had been re-sorted to be sequential.
Accordingly, some of the GIF/TIF pairs will line up name-wise, some
won't. Bottom line: It don't make a hoot! For now at least, Southern
Beauties is the slickest, prettiest adult CD out there. Dave promises
that the next one will be even better. I can't wait!!
DW>> I feel the consumer needs to really judge for themselves. Both
DW>> disks are really good products, but I think Busty Babes II is
DW>> a better value for the money. Again this is just a personal
DW>> opinion, but as a connoisseur of adult disks, I'd like to see
DW>> disks more like Busty II. Thanks Busty publishers, keep up the
DW>> good work!!!!
You certainly have a right to your opinion and I certainly agree
that the consumer needs to really judge for themselves. I am also
pleased that you think that Southern Beauties is a good disc.
If Ms. Noga decides to combine adult image discs with shareware
again, it appears that you will be one who will purchase it and be
pleased.

>ComputerHelp is Happy to Announce We Are Currently<
>Offering EMS Professional Software's CRDOM Discs!!!<
If you are PC-based or Windows-based and Have Liked the
Shareware & Utility CDROM Discs on the Market, We Believe
You Will Really See Added Value in These Discs!!! "WE DO!!!!"
EMS Has Changed Their Format Recently and Made Their Discs
Much More User Friendly. We Don't Want To Take Too Much
Space Here, But the EMS 2-Disc Set is $59.95 + shipping.
If You Are Curious About the Discs, We Have a SPECIAL For YOU!!!
We Have Sampler Single Disks (that are 1 rev -- or about
2 months -- old). They are the discs only, without the indexes,
COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL AND WITH ALL THE DATA!!!

their indexing that bothered us.) They have changed that in the
Current versions. Remember, the Full-Fledged current versions
are Currently $59.95 from EMS; Our Sale Price is $49.95.

Hi Jim,
I have a couple of questions about these dicsc. I'm not trying
to antagonize, simply understand.
JL> * All archives use Pkzip 2.04g maximum compression.
BTW, this is great!
JL> * All files scanned with McAfee Associates SCAN 9.15 V104
Why use such an old version? The current version is V109. I know
they probably couldn't have used it, but how about V108 or V107?
This older version may have left something out. ???? Curiosity.
JL> * All archives contain a FILE_ID.DIZ to identify them. This feature
This is also a big help for a SysOp.
JL> * All files are True Date Stamped based on the largest file.
Is this the way most discs date their files? If so, there are
probably some problems with getting true dates.....not in the
favor of the manufacturer. I have some programs that have larger
doc files than .EXE's and some are upgraded versions with the
older docs and a whatsnew type file. If this is a disc you make,
this might be something to think about.
JL> Big Sky Rom I - The Downloader's Rom $26.00
Lastly, do you have SysOp pricing on the discs?

PMFBI, but somebody has to beat back at these vicious rumors! You recently
asked:
DH>Boris,
DH>After our talk the other day can you RECOMMEND a CD ROM player to
DH>replace the mitsumi drives I have...it doesn't have to be fast
DH>as the mitsumi's are fast enough for my bbs use. To refresh
DH>your memory, i need a drive that can read the HOBBES OS/2 CD
DH>and others that are filled above 540Meg (limit of Mitsumi's)....
I don't know where people get such fanciful ideas, but there is absolutely NO
truth to any such limits at all! The Mitsumi LU002S I recently sold, and the
Mitsumi LU005S I now have, each have read every file on every CD-ROM in the
place, (about 50 or so), including especially the Hobbes discs I've fed them.
Even Gigabyte Gold was no challenge for either of them.
I've been places where a system would choke and puke on various discs, but the
brand of drive had little to do with it; more often than not, it was inadequate
memory available to deal with the directories.
Think for just a moment: if the Mitsumi brand of drives was all that bad, would
IBM support them so strongly that they would automagically install the OS/2 2.1
GA directly from CD-ROM? Mine did, and many others have.
You're quite welcome to buy as many drives as you wish, and to have whatever
opinions you want. But please stop spreading this untrue rumor. I grant that
the Mitsumi is not the Rolls Royce of the CD-ROM world. But it is not some
form of impotent leper either.

Edited from a 12/10/93 newswire:
Federal officials have announced the first software piracy case involving
counterfeit CD-ROM, programs. Authorities dismantled C-88 International Corp of
Fremont, CA for importing bootlegged discs from Hong Kong and packaging them
with personal computers.
There were about 900 counterfeit CD-ROM discs and 18,000 software manuals. The
counterfeit discs included popular games, encyclopedia and desk reference
titles from Groliers Inc, The Software Toolworks, and Lucasfilm Games. They
were to be sold as if they had been distributed by The Software Toolworks. Some
of the discs were defective, the packaging was shoddy and the packages on some
of the products were misspelled.
Computer software piracy has been a growing problem in recent years. Some
estimates put the losses to American software producers at $1B annually. [END]
Hope nobody is selling any of those fake CD-ROM software here.

Well, besides a publisher we do retail our products as well, but we don't
compete against our distribs in this echo (PCJ, Boris or StarVector). They are
very competitive for pricing, and Im sure they will sell the disc's as

Wow, I knew nothing about CD rom. I want to get one soon,
but was advised to wait until the prices went down - now that the
new 3x speed drives are out. So, cache is really important?
How much does cache size effect prices? Are most manufactuers
offering a wide range of cache sizes? 256k is the max?
What I got from your message was that you can get flawless
video from a single speed drive with a big cache... correct?
What are the benifits of a 2x or 3x drive? Thanks for your
time.

If you are PC-based or Windows-based and Have Liked the
Shareware & Utility CDROM Discs on the Market, We Believe
You Will Really See Added Value in These Discs!!! "WE DO!!!!"
EMS Has Changed Their Format Recently and Made Their Discs

If You Are Curious About the Discs, We Have a SPECIAL For YOU!!!
We Have Sampler Single Disks (that are 1 rev -- or about
2 months -- old). They are the discs only, without the indexes,

The reason many of the dealers in this echo are able to offer such low prices,
is because they sell versions of the discs not manufactured for the traditional
retail outlets. Even though the "read.me" files on the discs may list other
documentation, many of the discs don't come with it. If you want all of the
"goodies," you should be paying twice as much (or more) for the "retail box
versions" instead of the discount versions available in this echo. I don't
know Doug very well, but I do know him and this business well enough to say
that I'm confident he sent you EVERYTHING his distibutor sent him (regarding
the discs you purchased).

RC> Current Pricing for Walnut Creek CDROM Disc's
Hi Richard. Do you have any input to the producers at Walnut Creek?
If so, PLEASE relay to them a bit of advice about the term "BBS Ready".
As a CD-Rom retailer myself, I have had a good opportunity to compare
many shareware titles for the best features.
A single layer of directories instead of their usual multiple layers
saves sysops hours of set up time. I just installed the Aminet Amiga
shareware CD-Rom on my BBS. There were 136 different directories, some
of which contained only one file. I had to make 3 complete menu
screens just to display all the file areas. How about making the
directory structure a little more simple and the directories a little
more broad in topic so that there would not be such unnecessary work for
those of us trying to run them online?
Example:
Big Sky Rom I Aminet
E:\BIGSKY01\DL01 E:\AMINET\COMM\BBS\EXCEL
E:\BIGSKY01\DL02 E:\AMINET\BIZ\DBASE
E:\BIGSKY01\DL38 E:\AMINET\PIX\IRC\1992PICS\JPG\BERLIN
You see, Big Sky is much easier to set up than the Walnut Creek titles.
Big Sky limits the number of directories to 38, with a decent number of
files in each. Aminet's 136 directories are quite excessive. Aminet is
just the latest one I have looked at. All others I have seen are similar
in directory structure.
This is really not directed at you, but I was hoping you could either
pass the suggestion along or inform me who from Walnut Creek monitors
this echo. Thanks!
Jim...

The prolific David Remer postulated to Charlie about Cd-rom drives...
Hi David, the following answers are as per my supplier's tech
support people:
CJ>Hitachi-
CJ> CDR-3700 (I) AT..........................$399.00
DR> Is this compatible with the controller card and cables for
DR> the CDR 1700S drives for daisy chaining?
Yes, as they both use the same I/F card (CRIF18S).
CJ>Sony-
CJ> CDU-31-03 (I) Dbl. spin *Includes AT I/F.$165.00 *LOW PRICE*
DR> Is this compatible for daisychaining to the CDU 531 series?
Not that they know of, but their info on the 531 is limited.
CJ> CDU-535 (I) Sony bus.....................$275.00
DR> Same question as above?
I didn't know if you wanted info on the 535 <--> 531 or the
31 <--> 535, so I asked about both. The 535 <--> 531 should be
compatible as they *should* use the same bus (again limited info
here). The 31 <--> 535 should be compatible as they both use the
Sony bus.
CJ>Toshiba 3401B (I) Dbl. spin SCSI.............$379.00
DR> How much for the External model of this drive with cable for
DR> Adaptec 1542B, SCSI to Centronics I believe?
The drive is $459.00 external. I don't list the Adaptec 1542B.
However, Toshiba has a PCF kit for CD-ROM (SCSI cable; PC/AT
adaptor; S/W drivers; terminator; and disk/manual for $149.00,
too.
DR> On the other drives above, could you please quote and answer
DR> for External models. Not interested in internal. Thanks.
The other answers are for external models where available.
Please let me know if I can be of further service to you. I hope
that I have helped you make a decision on which drive to
purchase from us. Thanks for the opportunity to help.

Duane,
First, you should ask yourself exactly what you will use the
drive for. Is it to play games? Run on a BBS?
Educational/Reference? Then, you can make an appropriate
decision on what access and transfer rates you need/want. BTW,
the rates you quoted above are transfer rates and the drives can
achieve those rates easily-- with "burst rates" of up to 1M
plus.
DB> is claimed). What access times should I be looking for? How much
Again, depending on use. But, one thing you should know is that
even a slow CD-ROM drive can run faster than any 14.4 modem-- so
the modem won't be waiting on the CD to catch <if you're
thinking of BBS use> On the other hand, if you intend to play
graphics intensive games, you should look for a multispeed (dbl
or triple spin) drive or the graphics *may* be jerky in motion.
DB> more,typically, is an external CD rom, compared to a internal unit?
Most of my drives run about $50-80 more for an external model of
the *same* drive. OTOH, some of the internal drives have
eqivalent external models very nearly the same price.
DB> My current case does not have room for anything internal.
You have two choices then. 1) Free up an internal bay or 2) Buy
an external drive. If you are considering staying ahead of the
game OR are using Windows mostly, buy an external drive that
runs from a parallel port--not an external SCSI adaptor.
DB> Is there anything else that I am missing?
Really depends on your intended usage. It seems you are headed
in the right direction, though. If I can be of any additional
service to you, please let me know.

I don't think you understand completely, some sysops strip the private bit
from any message in a PUBLIC echo which this is and then the whole world can
read the message. I don't know about the all the rules in this echo but it may
not even allow PRIVATE messages therefore the sysop that strips the private
bit
would not be doing anything out of the ordinary. I kind of like sending a
private message in a public echo to writing a message on a wall in the middle
of town and expecting nobody but the intended to read it. If you want private
send NETMAIL or call the person voice. I know you probably think this is a
flame, but it isn't.

Hi Mauro!
We have two exceptional series that you'll be interested in.
Shareware Explorer ($69) is a 4-disc set with set-ups most most BBSs,
with very recent shareware. Shareware Studio ($49) is a 3 disc-set,
again with very recent shareware. Both sets were produced with great
care - a good layout, no viruses or commercial/copyright-infringing
files. The third volume of Shareware Studio 3 is also available
individually for the sale price of $30. We also have the popular Night
Owl 10, and Pier 3...
These prices are in Canadian dollars, and please note that all
applicable taxes are included.
Give me a call at 306-789-4654, and we'll get you set up.

Big Sky Rom I is not a brand new disc. Scanv104 was the current version
when it was released. Big Sky Rom II - Top Drawer is about to be

I understand your concern. A lot of thought went into this. Many
CD-Roms use other methods. Some even just use the date that they added
the archive to the collection, or alter them for "latest Date" bragging
rights. That is sad, but true. If you use the date of the newest file
in the archive, many will be inaccurate due to files added by BBSes that
may stick in ads during automatic file checking, or other files that
don't indicate when the program was last revised. The largest file was
chosen because, in most cases, it is the main executable of the program.

usually the docs will be updated as the program is revised.
CJ>JL> Big Sky Rom I - The Downloader's Rom $26.00
CJ> Lastly, do you have SysOp pricing on the discs?
The price is set for Sysops since they are by far the majority of the
buyers. The price is lower than almost all other good shareware discs.
Big Sky Rom II - Top Drawer will be released in the next couple weeks
for $19.00 to make more people aware just how good it is. As soon as it
is released, I will make put it online my BBS so that everybody can take
a look before they buy. We are now taking pre-orders for the people who
want to be among the first to get it. If you have any questions, don't
hesitate to ask. Thanks.

These directories alone can be challenged under the "RICO" act--which is
obscenity.
If you didn't know the FBI monitors this echo, and I would suggest that you not
be as descriptive in the future--If you are not aware, 1994 is gonna be the
'Obscenity' challenges for CD-ROMS. This is why publishers are switching over
to licensed/soft collections--But, if you have $250,000 in a legal contingency
fund, you have no worries--
I could be wrong here, but this disc sounds as if it was designed much like the
'Grassroot' disc's were a year ago--This puts the publisher and distributors at
great risk--Take it from me the *MOST* sued publisher in the industry for 1993,
I hope you understand what it is your dealing with and the ramifications for
doing so--
Besides, the concerns for your welfare, all the best for the disc !

Mr. van Gelder, do not use myself or my product line as a credit leaverage for
you or your company--Let's put this in perspective for this gentleman about
your being 'Good Enough' to sell myself a 1.2 gig drive, therefore making you
all that more accomodating to do business with......
Why don't you bring 'Our' business dealings up to date--Let's discuss our
professional considerations towards one another in a form of a time capsule,
shall we ? The gig drive was bought during the first quarter of 1993 when
Florida Lions Den was Lee Noga and Blaine Richard, and you were off in other
directions which I assume were not CD-ROM related.
What have our dealings been since ?--Blaine formed a corp with you after I
terminated our partnership--You generated a letter in June asking for $90,000
dollars for damages over alleged infringing software, you were present during
my 3 hour interogation/deposition on Nov 27, you were collaborating with the
plaintiffs lawyer in Federal Court Nov 30th with myself on the other side with
my attorney--and you were present when the Federal judge rejected the request
to have me bonded for a ridiculous $500,000 dollars. I hardly think the world
should be led to believe that *YOU* and *I* exchange Christmas cards.
PS--Congrats on your and Blaines new disc ! Hope you sell millions of them.
I'm sure this disc will be a great value and very professionally done.

Charlie ;
I saw a inquiry as to why Big Sky ROM would use as you pointed out a
outdated virus scanner. At the time of the publishing of Big Sky 1 That
WAS the latest scanner out. The new ROM will as before use the latest
scanner available, And EVERY archive will be scanned, along with every
file. Over cautious? We don't think so. Top Drawer ROM will be priced
so that every SysOp can purchase this ROM. I am one of the producers
and we are proud of the fact that we put a good product on the market.
And to stay on topic Top Drawer pre orders $19.00, a full rom not some
400Mb update. Big Sky 1 still $26.00 , It didn't start at 39.00 or
whatever and come down as interest faded as fast as SysOps found
changed file dates etc. Again Big Sky ROMS
Every archive scanned with the latest scanners

INTRODUCING CONTACTS INTERNATIONAL
We are not a "NET" in the BBS sense of the word, but an
international consulting group connected through our own private
network to 23 offices throughout the world via satellite. These
offices are, in turn, connected to some 500 participating
associates thus providing unprecedented global coverage to our
clients.
We are an associate of PAI Consulting Group S.A., an international
enterprise which specializes in providing consulting services, in
management and information technology, to industry, governments
and their agencies.
Since the mid 1980's, we have provided human resource search
services to our domestic and international clients on both a
retainer and fee for service basis. To date, this associate has
exceeded our expectations as a forum for both employers,
employees and contractors.
We have therefor decided to expand our services to encompass not
just our client base, but all prospective applicants who wish to
utilize our expertise to assist them in the advancement of their
careers or locate that first all important position in industry.
Whether you are unemployed, making career changes or simply
looking for new challenges we offer you effective local, national
and international exposure to employers.
The first requirement is that you provide us with a current resume.
For prospective employers, this document is the window into your
academic, professional and work background. It is probably the most
important essay that you will ever write. As a result of
discussions with many of our corporate clients it must be short,
to the point and consist of not more than three pages. This is a
challenge, but we know from experience that anything longer will
simply not attract the attention of a president or human resource
manager. We recommend that it be categorized as follows:
PART A
1. Professional and Business Education
List all degrees, professional and technical qualifications.
Dates graduated or certified (if you were born prior to 1943,
this may be omitted). Names of universities and/or trade
schools attended.
2. Professional Associations
List all such affiliations together with certified
designations, e.g. CMC, CCC, CIA, etc.
3. Personal
Use the headings Birth Date (as noted above, if you were
born prior to 1943 we recommend that this item be omitted).
Marital Status (include number of children). Health
(necessary for international assignments). Languages.
Mobility.
1/4
PART B
1. Summary of Business Experience.
A thumbnail sketch of your work and industrial experience.
Keep this as brief as possible, no more than two paragraphs
of five lines each.
2. Work History
One line each for dates from/to and company name; address;
your job title; job title of your immediate supervisor
Brief job description and list of accomplishments.
That's it! Brief, to the point and marketable!
INTRODUCING CONTACTS INTERNATIONAL
WHAT WILL IT COST?
We are neither philanthropists nor exploiters of prospective
clients. We are not an employment agency and do not belong to
any group which purports to guarantee you a job. We do utilize
our extensive and exclusive national and international contacts
to present your credentials for specific corporate requirements,
for which we may be the sole source. However, we do have costs
associated with this service which must be recovered.
You join Contacts International as a registered member, the six
month renewable registration fee for which is $75.00US and will
entitle you to all the rights and privileges of membership. This
is less than 42 cents a day for us to effectively market your
abilities.
You will also be entered anonymously into our global database
which presently incorporates over 3,000 job skill categories.
This means that you will be indexed to as many skill sets as
your resume dictates.
Because of our international network you also gain world wide
exposure to prospective employers who regularly browse our
database. One important privilege of membership.
We do reserve the right to critically review and edit your
resume in order to render it more acceptable to prospective
employers. This will increase your chances of being accepted as
a serious candidate. We will of course mail a copy of such an
amended resume for your written approval if the need arises.
When serious interest is shown in your credentials, we then
provide the corporate client with your personal information -
name and phone number only. If requests are made through our
network, your anonymous resume will be posted as Email. This

I would like to offer you the following suggestions:
First the bad news!
Don't look for the good times of the '80's to return. Many of the jobs
which have recently been removed from industry have gone for good.
Companies are getting leaner and meaner. In this global economy they
have no choice. All the developed countries are in the same boat.
Fifteen million unemployed in the EEC alone. However, there IS light at
the end of the tunnel.
If you have the necessary skills, there ARE jobs out there.
Companies are very particular about who they hire these days. They are
looking for very specific skill sets and if your resume does not
address the company's requirements, your resume gets dumped in file 13.
I would like to suggest that, as well as replying to advertisements,
you also list your skill sets and make a judgement as to what kinds of
jobs you would be comfortable in and qualified to perform. You might be
surprised at the results. It gets you away from thinking about one job
title.
Next, try to decide what industries you would be comfortable working
in. That is, in which do you have experience or could easily fit into.
To very much simplify an example, mining is much like oil and gas.
They are both natural resource industries. Extraction methodologies
are very similar. Only the end product is different. Again, you will
surprise yourself with the outcome of this exercise.
You now have two criteria: what you can do and where you can do it.
Now comes the hard part. You have to identify those companies which
meet your industry choices. Visit the main library and look for
industry reference books. These will have most companies in Canada
categorized BY industry. Who they are, where they are, what they do,
etc. They will also have some information on corporate officers: names,
titles and so on. Financial information may also be present. If not,
you can look for that in Standard and Poore's, Dun and Bradstreet,
etc., all useful sources of information. If you have trouble in
locating what you are after, you will find that the librarian will
be only too happy to point you in the right direction. Try to get the
most up to date information. The best source is the main reference
library on College Street in Toronto, but try your local main library
first. Also ask if they maintain a newspaper cutting service. This will
provide additional information about the companies you finally select
to approach. Are they still in business? What changes have occurred
over the past six months or so? There will be many questions you may
wish to have answered.
This research will help you to pinpoint those companies to whom you can
send what we call BLIND LETTERS. These letters are basically
unsolicited job applications. With the information you have gathered
you will be in a much better position to present yourself in your
resume and covering letter. If you get as far as an interview, all the
better. Gives you a chance to really shine with your knowledge of the
company. This research is very important, so take your time and don't
be discouraged.
Covering letters and resumes should be customized to reflect not only
your past experience, but also your knowledge of the company you are
writing to, their products and anything else which you can think of.
Don't go overboard at this point, just a brief sentence or two will
suffice. Remember, there are a lot of people out there looking for a
job. You have to gain the advantage.
Blind letters should NEVER be written to human resource or employment
offices, they only get trashed, and are a waste of your time and the
cost of the postage stamp. Always write to the head of the department
where you would like to work - one of the results of your research.
In our experience, most of the time you will get a reply to your
letters, even though some of them may be a "Dear John" type. If this
is the case, call up the person to whom you wrote and just ask him/her
if they could give you a critique of your resume. Did they think it
was well put together? How could it be improved upon? Now you are
asking for their advice, not a job, and most people will be glad to
give it to you. It doesn't cost them anything and most likely boosts
their ego a little.
Keep your resume down to three pages at the most. Make sure that the
information you are presenting is brief, to the point and truthful.
By all means use the "body shops" and "head hunters", but remember that
they rarely interview. The majority simply send your resume in response
to a clients request as a "fit". In other words they are paper
shufflers. However, you might get lucky, particularly if you have a
well written and professionally presented resume.
Looking for and finding a job can be a frustrating and protracted
experience. Look upon it as a learning experience. Go back to school,
night classes if necessary. It looks good on a resume and adds to your
marketable skill sets. It also tells a prospective employer that you
are serious about continuing your education. A very important
consideration. Get into a routine. Get up each morning at the same
time, have a work plan for each day. Read those books you always meant
to. Keep your mind active. Take regular exercise - walking, it doesn't
have to be strenuous.
These caveats apply if you are unemployed:
If you are contemplating going into business for yourself, BE VERY
CAREFUL.
If you need financing, don't let anyone fool you into giving up equity
in your home, you may very well loose it if your business is not
successful! As many have learned to their dismay.
Do not be taken in by promises of "unlimited income" in franchise
deals. The only person making money is the person who sells you the
franchise.
Approach every scheme with your eyes open. Don't be taken in by vague
and unsubstantiated claims for financial success.
Unless you are absolutely sure of what you are getting into, keep your
money in your pocket. Charity begins at home <G>
Don't forget, there's no such thing as a free lunch!
But most importantly, DO NOT DESPAIR. You are in good company.
And remember:
a smile costs nothing,
there's nothing to pay
and it might just make
somebody's day.
Good luck in your endeavours. Hope that the above has been of some
assistance. Talk to me any time.. Always glad to help.

INTRODUCING CONTACTS INTERNATIONAL
We are not a "NET" in the BBS sense of the word, but an
international consulting group connected through our own private
network to 23 offices throughout the world via satellite. These
offices are, in turn, connected to some 500 participating
associates thus providing unprecedented global coverage to our
clients.
We are an associate of PAI Consulting Group S.A., an international
enterprise which specializes in providing consulting services, in
management and information technology, to industry, governments
and their agencies.
Since the mid 1980's, we have provided human resource search
services to our domestic and international clients on both a
retainer and fee for service basis. To date, this associate has
exceeded our expectations as a forum for both employers,
employees and contractors.
We have therefor decided to expand our services to encompass not
just our client base, but all prospective applicants who wish to
utilize our expertise to assist them in the advancement of their
careers or locate that first all important position in industry.
Whether you are unemployed, making career changes or simply
looking for new challenges we offer you effective local, national
and international exposure to employers.
The first requirement is that you provide us with a current resume.
For prospective employers, this document is the window into your
academic, professional and work background. It is probably the most
important essay that you will ever write. As a result of
discussions with many of our corporate clients it must be short,
to the point and consist of not more than three pages. This is a
challenge, but we know from experience that anything longer will
simply not attract the attention of a president or human resource
manager. We recommend that it be categorized as follows:
PART A
1. Professional and Business Education
List all degrees, professional and technical qualifications.
Dates graduated or certified (if you were born prior to 1943,
this may be omitted). Names of universities and/or trade
schools attended.
2. Professional Associations
List all such affiliations together with certified
designations, e.g. CMC, CCC, CIA, etc.
3. Personal
Use the headings Birth Date (as noted above, if you were
born prior to 1943 we recommend that this item be omitted).
Marital Status (include number of children). Health
(necessary for international assignments). Languages.
Mobility.
1/4
PART B
1. Summary of Business Experience.
A thumbnail sketch of your work and industrial experience.
Keep this as brief as possible, no more than two paragraphs
of five lines each.
2. Work History
One line each for dates from/to and company name; address;
your job title; job title of your immediate supervisor
Brief job description and list of accomplishments.
That's it! Brief, to the point and marketable!
INTRODUCING CONTACTS INTERNATIONAL
WHAT WILL IT COST?
We are neither philanthropists nor exploiters of prospective
clients. We are not an employment agency and do not belong to
any group which purports to guarantee you a job. We do utilize
our extensive and exclusive national and international contacts
to present your credentials for specific corporate requirements,
for which we may be the sole source. However, we do have costs
associated with this service which must be recovered.
You join Contacts International as a registered member, the six
month renewable registration fee for which is $75.00US and will
entitle you to all the rights and privileges of membership. This
is less than 42 cents a day for us to effectively market your
abilities.
You will also be entered anonymously into our global database
which presently incorporates over 3,000 job skill categories.
This means that you will be indexed to as many skill sets as
your resume dictates.
Because of our international network you also gain world wide
exposure to prospective employers who regularly browse our
database. One important privilege of membership.
We do reserve the right to critically review and edit your
resume in order to render it more acceptable to prospective
employers. This will increase your chances of being accepted as
a serious candidate. We will of course mail a copy of such an
amended resume for your written approval if the need arises.
When serious interest is shown in your credentials, we then
provide the corporate client with your personal information -
name and phone number only. If requests are made through our
network, your anonymous resume will be posted as Email. This
procedure is followed for the protection of your privacy.
2/4
We then step back from the process and the prospective
employer will contact you directly. All interview arrangements,
provision of references, copies of degrees and/or professional
certifications, salary and fringe benefit negotiation will now
become your responsibility. We only request that you keep us
informed of your progress and ultimate employment so that we may
purge our records.

marketable skill sets. It also tells a prospective employer that you
are serious about continuing your education. A very important
consideration. Get into a routine. Get up each morning at the same
time, have a work plan for each day. Read those books you always meant
to. Keep your mind active. Take regular exercise - walking, it doesn't
have to be strenuous.
These caveats apply if you are unemployed:
If you are contemplating going into business for yourself, BE VERY
CAREFUL.
If you need financing, don't let anyone fool you into giving up equity
in your home, you may very well loose it if your business is not
successful! As many have learned to their dismay.
Do not be taken in by promises of "unlimited income" in franchise
deals. The only person making money is the person who sells you the
franchise.
Approach every scheme with your eyes open. Don't be taken in by vague
and unsubstantiated claims for financial success.
Unless you are absolutely sure of what you are getting into, keep your
money in your pocket. Charity begins at home <G>
Don't forget, there's no such thing as a free lunch!
But most importantly, DO NOT DESPAIR. You are in good company.
And remember:
a smile costs nothing,
there's nothing to pay
and it might just make
somebody's day.
Good luck in your endeavours. Hope that the above has been of some
assistance. Talk to me any time.. Always glad to help.

I would like to offer these suggestions to all of you out there who are
unemployed, seeking a career change or looking for that first job.
First the bad news!
Don't look for the good times of the '80's to return. Many of the jobs
which have recently been removed from industry have gone for good.
Companies are getting leaner and meaner. In this global economy they
have no choice. All the developed countries are in the same boat.
Fifteen million unemployed in the EEC alone. However, there IS light at
the end of the tunnel.
If you have the necessary skills, there ARE jobs out there.
Companies are very particular about who they hire these days. They are
looking for very specific skill sets and if your resume does not
address the company's requirements, your resume gets dumped in file 13.
I would like to suggest that, as well as replying to advertisements,
you also list your skill sets and make a judgement as to what kinds of
jobs you would be comfortable in and qualified to perform. You might be
surprised at the results. It gets you away from thinking about one job
title.
Next, try to decide what industries you would be comfortable working
in. That is, in which do you have experience or could easily fit into.
To very much simplify an example, mining is much like oil and gas.
They are both natural resource industries. Extraction methodologies
are very similar. Only the end product is different. Again, you will
surprise yourself with the outcome of this exercise.
You now have two criteria: what you can do and where you can do it.
Now comes the hard part. You have to identify those companies which
meet your industry choices. Visit the main library and look for
industry reference books. These will have most companies in Canada
categorized BY industry. Who they are, where they are, what they do,
etc. They will also have some information on corporate officers: names,
titles and so on. Financial information may also be present. If not,
you can look for that in Standard and Poore's, Dun and Bradstreet,
etc., all useful sources of information. If you have trouble in
locating what you are after, you will find that the librarian will
be only too happy to point you in the right direction. Try to get the
most up to date information. The best source is the main reference
library on College Street in Toronto, but try your local main library
first. Also ask if they maintain a newspaper cutting service. This will
provide additional information about the companies you finally select
to approach. Are they still in business? What changes have occurred
over the past six months or so? There will be many questions you may
wish to have answered.
This research will help you to pinpoint those companies to whom you can
send what we call BLIND LETTERS. These letters are basically
unsolicited job applications. With the information you have gathered
you will be in a much better position to present yourself in your
resume and covering letter. If you get as far as an interview, all the
better. Gives you a chance to really shine with your knowledge of the
company. This research is very important, so take your time and don't
be discouraged.
Covering letters and resumes should be customized to reflect not only
your past experience, but also your knowledge of the company you are
writing to, their products and anything else which you can think of.
Don't go overboard at this point, just a brief sentence or two will
suffice. Remember, there are a lot of people out there looking for a
job. You have to gain the advantage.
Blind letters should NEVER be written to human resource or employment
offices, they only get trashed, and are a waste of your time and the
cost of the postage stamp. Always write to the head of the department
where you would like to work - one of the results of your research.
In our experience, most of the time you will get a reply to your
letters, even though some of them may be a "Dear John" type. If this
is the case, call up the person to whom you wrote and just ask him/her
if they could give you a critique of your resume. Did they think it
was well put together? How could it be improved upon? Now you are
asking for their advice, not a job, and most people will be glad to
give it to you. It doesn't cost them anything and most likely boosts
their ego a little.
Keep your resume down to three pages at the most. Make sure that the
information you are presenting is brief, to the point and truthful.
By all means use the "body shops" and "head hunters", but remember that
they rarely interview. The majority simply send your resume in response
to a clients request as a "fit". In other words they are paper
shufflers. However, you might get lucky, particularly if you have a
well written and professionally presented resume.
Looking for and finding a job can be a frustrating and protracted
experience. Look upon it as a learning experience. Go back to school,
night classes if necessary. It looks good on a resume and adds to your
marketable skill sets. It also tells a prospective employer that you
are serious about continuing your education. A very important
consideration. Get into a routine. Get up each morning at the same
time, have a work plan for each day. Read those books you always meant

INTRODUCING CONTACTS INTERNATIONAL
We are not a "NET" in the BBS sense of the word, but an
international consulting group connected through our own private
network to 23 offices throughout the world via satellite. These
offices are, in turn, connected to some 500 participating
associates thus providing unprecedented global coverage to our
clients.
We are an associate of PAI Consulting Group S.A., an international
enterprise which specializes in providing consulting services, in
management and information technology, to industry, governments
and their agencies.
Since the mid 1980's, we have provided human resource search
services to our domestic and international clients on both a
retainer and fee for service basis. To date, this associate has
exceeded our expectations as a forum for both employers,
employees and contractors.
We have therefor decided to expand our services to encompass not
just our client base, but all prospective applicants who wish to
utilize our expertise to assist them in the advancement of their
careers or locate that first all important position in industry.
Whether you are unemployed, making career changes or simply
looking for new challenges we offer you effective local, national
and international exposure to employers.
The first requirement is that you provide us with a current resume.
For prospective employers, this document is the window into your
academic, professional and work background. It is probably the most
important essay that you will ever write. As a result of
discussions with many of our corporate clients it must be short,
to the point and consist of not more than three pages. This is a
challenge, but we know from experience that anything longer will
simply not attract the attention of a president or human resource
manager. We recommend that it be categorized as follows:
PART A
1. Professional and Business Education
List all degrees, professional and technical qualifications.
Dates graduated or certified (if you were born prior to 1943,
this may be omitted). Names of universities and/or trade
schools attended.
2. Professional Associations
List all such affiliations together with certified
designations, e.g. CMC, CCC, CIA, etc.
3. Personal
Use the headings Birth Date (as noted above, if you were
born prior to 1943 we recommend that this item be omitted).
Marital Status (include number of children). Health
(necessary for international assignments). Languages.
Mobility.
1/4
PART B
1. Summary of Business Experience.
A thumbnail sketch of your work and industrial experience.
Keep this as brief as possible, no more than two paragraphs
of five lines each.
2. Work History
One line each for dates from/to and company name; address;
your job title; job title of your immediate supervisor
Brief job description and list of accomplishments.
That's it! Brief, to the point and marketable!
INTRODUCING CONTACTS INTERNATIONAL
WHAT WILL IT COST?
We are neither philanthropists nor exploiters of prospective
clients. We are not an employment agency and do not belong to
any group which purports to guarantee you a job. We do utilize
our extensive and exclusive national and international contacts
to present your credentials for specific corporate requirements,
for which we may be the sole source. However, we do have costs
associated with this service which must be recovered.
You join Contacts International as a registered member, the six
month renewable registration fee for which is $75.00US and will
entitle you to all the rights and privileges of membership. This
is less than 42 cents a day for us to effectively market your
abilities.
You will also be entered anonymously into our global database
which presently incorporates over 3,000 job skill categories.
This means that you will be indexed to as many skill sets as
your resume dictates.
Because of our international network you also gain world wide
exposure to prospective employers who regularly browse our
database. One important privilege of membership.
We do reserve the right to critically review and edit your
resume in order to render it more acceptable to prospective
employers. This will increase your chances of being accepted as
a serious candidate. We will of course mail a copy of such an
amended resume for your written approval if the need arises.
When serious interest is shown in your credentials, we then
provide the corporate client with your personal information -
name and phone number only. If requests are made through our
network, your anonymous resume will be posted as Email. This
procedure is followed for the protection of your privacy.
2/4
We then step back from the process and the prospective
employer will contact you directly. All interview arrangements,
provision of references, copies of degrees and/or professional
certifications, salary and fringe benefit negotiation will now
become your responsibility. We only request that you keep us
informed of your progress and ultimate employment so that we may
purge our records.
If you wish to become a member of Contacts International,
please complete and mail the attached application form together
with a copy of your resume (preferably laser printed) and your
six month membership fee to:
Contacts International

"I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be
any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow
being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall
not pass this way again" - William Penn (1644-1718), English

ML> I think that there are a lot of folks who are in the same boat. I've
ML> never felt right about saying anything, keeping the frustrations
ML> inside, until I found this conference. (smile)
ML> IM*Thank God for BBS life supports.
ML> Amen to that. :)
I would like to offer you the following suggestions:
First the bad news!
Don't look for the good times of the '80's to return. Many of the jobs
which have recently been removed from industry have gone for good.
Companies are getting leaner and meaner. In this global economy they
have no choice. All the developed countries are in the same boat.
Fifteen million unemployed in the EEC alone. However, there IS light at
the end of the tunnel.
If you have the necessary skills, there ARE jobs out there.
Companies are very particular about who they hire these days. They are
looking for very specific skill sets and if your resume does not
address the company's requirements, your resume gets dumped in file 13.
I would like to suggest that, as well as replying to advertisements,
you also list your skill sets and make a judgement as to what kinds of
jobs you would be comfortable in and qualified to perform. You might be
surprised at the results. It gets you away from thinking about one job
title.
Next, try to decide what industries you would be comfortable working
in. That is, in which do you have experience or could easily fit into.
To very much simplify an example, mining is much like oil and gas.
They are both natural resource industries. Extraction methodologies
are very similar. Only the end product is different. Again, you will
surprise yourself with the outcome of this exercise.
You now have two criteria: what you can do and where you can do it.
Now comes the hard part. You have to identify those companies which
meet your industry choices. Visit the main library and look for
industry reference books. These will have most companies in Canada
categorized BY industry. Who they are, where they are, what they do,
etc. They will also have some information on corporate officers: names,
titles and so on. Financial information may also be present. If not,
you can look for that in Standard and Poore's, Dun and Bradstreet,
etc., all useful sources of information. If you have trouble in
locating what you are after, you will find that the librarian will
be only too happy to point you in the right direction. Try to get the
most up to date information. The best source is the main reference
library on College Street in Toronto, but try your local main library
first. Also ask if they maintain a newspaper cutting service. This will
provide additional information about the companies you finally select
to approach. Are they still in business? What changes have occurred
over the past six months or so? There will be many questions you may
wish to have answered.
This research will help you to pinpoint those companies to whom you can
send what we call BLIND LETTERS. These letters are basically
unsolicited job applications. With the information you have gathered
you will be in a much better position to present yourself in your
resume and covering letter. If you get as far as an interview, all the
better. Gives you a chance to really shine with your knowledge of the
company. This research is very important, so take your time and don't
be discouraged.
Covering letters and resumes should be customized to reflect not only
your past experience, but also your knowledge of the company you are
writing to, their products and anything else which you can think of.
Don't go overboard at this point, just a brief sentence or two will
suffice. Remember, there are a lot of people out there looking for a
job. You have to gain the advantage.
Blind letters should NEVER be written to human resource or employment
offices, they only get trashed, and are a waste of your time and the
cost of the postage stamp. Always write to the head of the department
where you would like to work - one of the results of your research.
In our experience, most of the time you will get a reply to your
letters, even though some of them may be a "Dear John" type. If this
is the case, call up the person to whom you wrote and just ask him/her
if they could give you a critique of your resume. Did they think it
was well put together? How could it be improved upon? Now you are
asking for their advice, not a job, and most people will be glad to
give it to you. It doesn't cost them anything and most likely boosts
their ego a little.
Keep your resume down to three pages at the most. Make sure that the
information you are presenting is brief, to the point and truthful.
By all means use the "body shops" and "head hunters", but remember that
they rarely interview. The majority simply send your resume in response
to a clients request as a "fit". In other words they are paper
shufflers. However, you might get lucky, particularly if you have a
well written and professionally presented resume.
Looking for and finding a job can be a frustrating and protracted
experience. Look upon it as a learning experience. Go back to school,
night classes if necessary. It looks good on a resume and adds to your
marketable skill sets. It also tells a prospective employer that you
are serious about continuing your education. A very important
consideration. Get into a routine. Get up each morning at the same
time, have a work plan for each day. Read those books you always meant
to. Keep your mind active. Take regular exercise - walking, it doesn't
have to be strenuous.
These caveats apply if you are unemployed:
If you are contemplating going into business for yourself, BE VERY
CAREFUL.
If you need financing, don't let anyone fool you into giving up equity
in your home, you may very well loose it if your business is not
successful! As many have learned to their dismay.
Do not be taken in by promises of "unlimited income" in franchise
deals. The only person making money is the person who sells you the
franchise.
Approach every scheme with your eyes open. Don't be taken in by vague
and unsubstantiated claims for financial success.
Unless you are absolutely sure of what you are getting into, keep your
money in your pocket. Charity begins at home <G>
Don't forget, there's no such thing as a free lunch!
But most importantly, DO NOT DESPAIR. You are in good company.
And remember:
a smile costs nothing,
there's nothing to pay
and it might just make
somebody's day.
Good luck in your endeavours. Hope that the above has been of some
assistance. Talk to me any time.. Always glad to help.

Greetings:
Please Note: Prices are subject to change without notice. We reserve
the right to limit quantities and are not responsible for typographical
errors. We will not knowingly be undersold by any other CD-ROM dealer
in Canada! If you find a better regularly advertised Canadian price
on any of our titles, we'll match that price, and throw in the shipping
for Free!
1) We have added an additional 80 of the latest titles in all categories;
2) Thanks to your support, we have once again been able to offer better
pricing on most of our titles, especially in the higher-end products. You
will notice a substantial savings of anywhere from 5% - 30% off our previous
pricing!
3) We now accept MASTERCARD orders as well as VISA!!!
4) Becuase of our low pricing, we must now charge 3% for VISA and
Mastercard orders UNDER $50.00, on the pre-shipping/tax price. Orders
over $50.00 are not effected.
5) To help us keep our prices low, please respect our request to use our
TOLL-FREE 800 # EXCLUSIVELY FOR ORDERS ONLY. If you require other
information, call our office number: (905) 830-1615. Or you can fax
your request for information using the same number. You can place your
order 24 hours a day. Just leave us the title(s) requested, your VISA/
Mastercard # with Expiration date, and the price according to your copy
of our price list. Barring any problems, your order will be processed
right away. Allow 7 to 10 days for delivery. PsL CDs ship next day.
Orders placed by Personal Cheque are held for an additional 7 days.
6) In addition to our new CDs, we buy and sell USED CD's. If you have some
in good condition with documentation, please contact us with a price you
would like for them, or you may use them to trade-in on New titles. We
buy only good quality used titles with the documentation in tact. Drop
us a line, give us a call, let us know what you're looking for.
7) We are also endeavouring to install a Fax-on-Demand system which would
allow you to retrieve info on most or all titles via fax. Again, we'll keep
you posted.

In regard to my activity in writing to you asking for damages, being present
during your deposition, and collaborating with the attorney in court; I am
the VPIC licensing agent and was acting in that capacity.
It is interesting to me, what you would like to imply to the people who read
this echo. From what you say, it would appear that you prevailed in the case.
Didn't you get a copy of the Judge's order? It said, "Defendants Rebecca Noga
and Florida Lion's Den, Inc. are hereby enjoined from selling, distributing,
manufacturing, renting or otherwise utilizing the VPIC software copyrighted by
the Plaintiff. All infringing products which remain in the possession,
control, or custody of Defendants or of any entity of which either Defendant
exercises any supervisory authority shall be recalled immediately and
surrendered to Plaintiff. Defendants shall prepare an advertisement to be
placed in their Bulletin Board System ("BBS"), which informs users, sellers
and distributors that the infringing products were produced without a license
and advise those users, sellers and distributors that such products are
subject to payment of a licensing fee to Plaintiff..."
I don't begin to think that I could lead the people that read this echo to
believe that we will be exchanging Christmas cards.
As I said in my post, I ALSO DO NOT CONSIDER THE CD-ROM FOR SALE ECHO TO BE
THE PLACE FOR STORIES OR THINGS OTHER THAN ANNOUNCING CD-ROM PRODUCTS

Got the check today, or at least the envelope. Haven't looked inside
yet. Hope there's something in it :)
Hope you enjoy the cd. I know know one does it, but read over the docs
first. I wasted a lot of time trying to do searches before I looked in
the docs and found that small words like "for" are not indexed and are not
ignored, so "For God so loved ... " wont be found because the first word
isn't indexed.
Have a Happy Christmas.

I was wondering if maybe you had one of the very old non-mpc drives, I have a
mitsumi and I have read disces up to 695+ megs with no problems, the book does
say 540 is the limit but it isn't so far? Just curios is all I did have trouble
with the 700 meg once but after that no more problems, it must have been dirt
or so on the lens.

YES!!! I have one here that I got with the purchase of a NEC drive, but I'm

shrink wrap just for curiosity, but I did not open the sealed envelope

There is a program on The Animals! disc called cdtest.exe that will test

cdtest.exe "filename"
It reads the file and gives you the speed results. It tests sequential
read data rate and random access read data rate. The results it gave me
were appropriate for my drive, so it apparently works.

You Will Really See Added Value in These Discs!!! "WE DO!!!!"
EMS Has Changed Their Format Recently and Made Their Discs
Much More User Friendly. We Don't Want To Take Too Much

If You Are Curious About the Discs, We Have a SPECIAL For YOU!!!
We Have Sampler Single Disks (that are 1 rev -- or about
2 months -- old). They are the discs only, without the indexes,

their indexing that bothered us.) They have changed that in the
Current versions. Remember, the Full-Fledged current versions
are Currently $59.95 from EMS; Our Sale Price is $49.95.

That reminds me of a story... oooooh, Tim's going to get pissed here pretty

I had a neighbor one time who felt sorry for me, in that my girlfriend lived in

Yes. There is not much "theft" in this industry, with the exception of the
adult stuff (excluding licensed collections like those Lee Noga is putting
together). There are definately AT LEAST two seperate markets for CD-ROMs. The
usual retail channels are a lot more choosy about which products they'll put on
their shelves. Many products make it first in this market, then work their way
into the normal retail channels.

I agree with you 100%.

Jerry, maybe you can help, i am running two mitsumi's, have been for about a
year now with no problems until i tried the Hobbs OS/2 (Oct 93)... i have
tried to read it with the bbs software up and running AND without anything
running but DOS...when i boot my system with the cd in either of the drives
the system dosen't even recognize the drive anymore, if i swap disc the drive
just sits there with no action what so ever...i have feed these drives night
owls, BBII, 5 Star Monster series, Cream of the Crop, So Much Stareware, and a
host of other CD's with no problem either. My conversation with Boris relayed
the same and he memtioned that the Hobbes is over 540M of files, the limit of
the mitsumi's (which is printed in the specifications of the drive in my
manual)...i don't have access to another drive to see if the hobbs disc is
good or bad....ANY SUGGESTIONS
Doug
