I would appreciate hearing about any commercially available CD-ROMs for
the Macintosh (or compatible with the AppleCD SC), since I just placed
an order for a CD-ROM drive.

I am aware of MegaROM from QL Tech in Coral Gables, FL.  $49 for 330MB
of public domain stacks, fonts, picts, utilities and examples.  By the
way, they are working on a $99 700+MB BBS CD due in July.

Does anyone know if Microsoft Bookshelf or Grolier's encyclopedia work
on the Macintosh?

Netiquette demands that I request email and offer to post a summary
(although, between you and me, starting a new thread for CD-ROM here
wouldn't bother me at all).  I scanned various newsgroups looking for
a better place to post this request, but couldn't find one--any pointers
would be gladly accepted.

Thanks in advance.
