- This appeared in a TigerSoftware catalogue at the end of 1992. At
- that time, it was just the GeoWorks CD-ROM Manager, and didn't say
- anything about soundcards.
-
- The package (CD-ROM player and software) is aimed at people who do
- not have Windows on their computers (can't afford it, don't have a
- fast enough computer, have a brain, whatever reason ;)
-
- Since Geoworks hasn't mailed me my non-hypothesizing agreement (I
- expect they will sooner or later to keep me from conjecturing about
- everything ;) I'd like to point out that if there is a CD-ROM and
- Soundcard manager for GEOS, I guess that would answer our questions
- about whether GEOS was going to get involved with multimedia!
-
- I just hope they take the same approach to soundcards as they have
- taken to printers - support EVERYTHING. (I've got a 1989-vintage
- original AdLib. ;)
