Last spring, I upgraded my MSDN CDROM subscription from level 1 to level 2.
Only recently did I finally discover why I had been receiving both level 1
and 2 at each release -- it seems that instead of upgrading my subscription,
they gave me a totally new level 2 subscription. When I looked back over my
VISA bill, I realized that I had been charged $510 for a new subscription
instead of $395 for an upgrade from level 1. So, rather than try to go back
and get the error corrected, it seems easier to sell my Level 1 subscription.
(The license agreement says this is OK as long as I sell all the current
disks and not just the old disks, and Disk #8 was my last level 1 release.)
So, is anyone interested in both MSDN Library CDROM Disk 8 (July) for $60 and
Disk 7 (April) for $40. That's the amount I paid extra for the new MSDN-II
subscription, and is much less than the cost of the books, MSJ, Resource
Toolkits, etc. would be if purchased. The latest disk (#8)includes:
Technical Articles - hundreds of pages of MS internal bulletins and reports.
Sample Code - Source for all technical articles, books, publications, etc.
White Papers - high level MS documents explaining new MS technologies.
Specifications - Microsoft APIs including TAPI, Multimedia, OLE 2, Plug'n
play, Unicode, Sockets, WOSA, EMS, DPMI, Digital Video, etc.
Knowledge Base - Tens of thousands of bug fixes, documented errors, hints.
Books and Periodicals - complete text of "Advanced Windows NT", "Inside OLE",
"Inside Visual Basic", "MSDOS Programmers Reference", 3 years of MSJ
magazine, Petzolds "Programming Windows 3.1", etc.
Product Documentation - complete docs for ALL SDKs, DDKs, Applications,
Languages, etc., including Windows NT.
Product tools and Utilities - Resource toolkits, extra programs, etc.
All topics are searchable from the GUI user interface. The code takes from 2
to 5 MB on your hard disk. You need a CDROM drive that can be accessed from
windows. The new front-end on Disk 8 is much faster than earlier versions!
If interested, please email "jls@csn.org" and perhaps leave your phone # and
best time to call. I'm hard to reach by phone, but you can leave a message
at 484-8466. Thanks.
Jerry
