Yes, I would be interested in a discussion on CD-Rom disks.  I am
interested in discussing the ease of installation of the  disk, technical
support, vendors, cost, etc.  I am especially interested in discussing
disks that are appropriate for media centers as reference tools versus
educational games.  Do media specialists unload reference tools to
install games?  Are there time limits on games?  Those are the kinds of
issues that are important to me.
