In their Winter '91 issue, DAK is advertising an external Sony CDROM
unit with six CDROM discs for $699.  What is the catch on this offer?
$699 seems to be a reasonable price for a CDROM drive that's also
capable of playing back audio, and the CDROM discs that come with the
drive seem to be useful (encyclopedia, reference library, Maps and
Charts, Classical Literature, and dictionaries).  So again, what's the
catch here?
