I am interested in finding out what kinds of software people enjoy using on the CD-ROM format. Thus, I would like to take an informal-survey and post my findings here on the net. I believe that if you take the time to tell me a little bit about what kinds of products that you find useful, enjoy on CD-ROM that it could conceivably help us all... both developers and end-users. Please feel free to write anything you would like in reply to me. I would appreciate anything that you have to say. If you need some inspiration, however, I would like to suggest responding on the following topics: Have you seen any useful/fun CD-ROM products? Why have they been useful or fun? I F What areas of the market do you feel are lacking in terms of good CD-ROM software? Business? Education? Software tools? Games? Graphics? Digital Video? Sounds? Desktop Publishing? Spreadsheets? Fonts? Word Processors? Utilities? <-- (Hmm CD-ROM based utilities... are there any?) digital books? digital magazines? source code archives? What types of CD-ROMs do you usually buy? (See above list for possible categories?) Could I possibly ask you to name your favorite product in this/these categories? If not, it's okay, really! Hmmm... that seems like about all for now. I would really appreciate any responses that you can give. Could you possibly give me an indication of what it is that you do or why that you like/want the CD-ROM products that you mention? thanks much, :-) --thomas-- poff@vax.sonoma.edu p.s.- I am doing this because I have a product in the works! :-) Any info you can give me about your likes or dislikes of CD-ROM will be most helpful. I will post a synopsis of your replies!
