In response to Ross Oliver's: >> CD-ROM Review $34.97/year >I tried to subscribe to this magazine at the end of >last year. Last week, I received a letter stating that >publication had been discontinued as of December 1988. >I think it reflects the state of the CD-ROM industry >as a whole: a technology in search of a market. I agree. No matter what promise this technology holds for interactive audio-video and multimedia computer interfaces, the market for such devices will remain on ice until there is an industry standard for optical read-write media with transfer rates high enough to support multiwindow full motion video.
