You remember Lotus Market place product.  120 Million U.S. consumers
on CD-ROM disk.  Well it's not over with.

Even though Lotus has agreed to drop the use of the disks, there is
still a beta copy that will not be returned.

In a article dated January 28th 1991 (Computer Reseller News) I quote.

"It's very unfortunate," said Carlton Collins, president of Collins &
Collins CPAs, an Atlanta accounting firm that beta tested both
products.  "We were using Marketplace extensively and developed
applications for some of our clients as well."  Collins said he hoped
Marketplace would reappear in some other format, adding he will keep
his copy rather than return it for a refund.

Is there anyone in Atlanta that could post the address to Collins &
Collins CPAs.
