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?

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,  :-)

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!
