This disc contains 2,500 different software programs. If you are thinking about simply listing the names of these programs on your printer, make sure you have plenty of paper -- the listing alone goes on for over 40 pages. There is something for just about anyone who uses an IBM or compatible personal computer and is interested in exploring available shareware and freeware programs.Software in a wide range of application and utility areas is packaged on this disc, including: line and text editing, data communications, personal and business finance, hard disk utilities, graphics, device drivers, educational programs, word processors, macros, spreadsheet templates, databases, accounting and bookkeeping, source code, games (we lost count of the number of spacewar-type games), and miscellaneous programming utilities.Instead of investing hundreds of dollars in a mainstream software package, it often makes more sense to see what software is available in the public domain. No more long-term logons to bulletin boards, no more collections of floppy disk software, no more hard disks cluttered with miscellaneous programs. The low price of this disc means that you can try out these programs for less than a nickel each!

Philips is one of the pioneers of CD technology. They joined forces with Control Data to form Laser Magnetic Storage International
(LMSI). The CD-ROM drives available from LMSI meet a wide range of CD-ROM application requirements, and have good reliability and performance characteristics.
Model CM 121 combines a serial interface and audio capability in a compact desktop package.
The CM 131 is the same as the CM 121, but with a SCSI interface.
Model CM 132 is a dual desktop drive with a SCSI interface, and is capable of accessing two different CD-ROM discs simultaneously (great for multi-disc databases).
All Philips drives use a disc caddy to help preserve the integrity of your data. And since the discs cannot be removed from the drives without the disc caddy, the Philips drives are excellent for applications in which it is important to keep the discs secure from tampering.
