Well, the last few days have certainly given us all something to chew over duri
ng the Christmas break, in re networking and site licencing of
CDROM products.  This is really only part of a larger problem, which now includ
es the loading of tapes [ commercial or otherwise ] to mainframe systems such a
s Notis' MDAS. I'm glad I don't have to figure out how to set up the controls
on 4-5 mainframed databases, each with different site licence requirements.
Maybe what we need are some joint user/producer sessions at BROAD exposure nati
onal conferences like ALA, CLA, SLA to explore the questions raised over the la
st little while on CDROMLAN. Anybody out there know whether such a thing is in
the works for 1993 ?

Right now, it's 1 PM in Regina,the temperature is about minus 15 celsius and dr
opping faster than the Canadian dollar, the wind is blowing 40 MPH, and the lea
ding edge of a 400 mile long blizzard is just passing through. So I'm going to
call it quits for the day, get my white cane, and try feeling my way across 20
or so miles of whited-out prairie to get back home for xmas.  Best wishes to
everybody for a happy holiday season , and " see " you next year.  Bye!  Ed
Perry.
