I just saw an ad for "Speed Dial" CDROM National Business Telephone
Directory.  It claims numbers for 9.2 million businesses. Search by
yellow page heading or name. Print selected listings. Dial a number.
post a 'sticky-note' on any listing (I assume using your hard disk,
obviously can't do it on CDROM).

Says it has a 30 day money back guarantee (return for any reason).

The interesting thing is that unlike any others I have seen so far
this one might be labeled affordable.

single user:	$249		intro offer $199.
8 user lan	$1399		 "  	"   $999.
9-100 user lan  $1999		 "	"   $1499.

Though nothing else is mentioned about it, there is also a box to
check for info on a national consumer directory, too.
