========================================================================= Subject: CD-ROM based magazin for NeXT is shiping Hi All, The first issue ( JAN-FEB ) of NeXT Bimonthly CD-ROM started shipping two weeks ago. I am sorry for the delay, I was planing to ship it sometime during Christmas but the factory that was doing the manufacturing closed down for the holidays. The next issue (MAR-APR ) will ship on time (last week of February ) This CD-ROM will contain about 125 Meg's of software, but the next issue will d be about 300 Meg big. All the files are Rockridge to maintain NeXT type of filenames. The price for one year subscription(6 CD's ) will stay at U$49.95 until Feb 1st, then it's $99.95, because there is an ad on NeXT World Extra ( February ) & an ad on NeXT world for this product. Also if you want you can purchase a 2 year subscription for $99.00, until February. Many people wanted to know how this low price is possible, most of the manufacturing cost ( prmastering and mastering of the CD's ),is being paid by commercial software venders, to see there demo software on our CD. So as a subscriber you end up paying only for the Cd's and postage. Another importent thing is that we are NOT working for big profit margins rather we are just bunch of people who LOVE NeXT. Also I would like to say that this project is funded by the Canadian Governmentt in the from of a long-term ( 5 yrs ) loan. Only in Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~ Did you know that it cost me less to mail the CD's to US then mail the CD's from Canada to Canadian subscribers. Thanks Jay tamil@qucdn.queensu.ca PS : If you have not placed an order yet, you may do so by E-mailing your address and phone number, I will ship the first issue and bill you.
