Chet Grycz asked about surveys of shareware usage. I seem to remember
some months ago, somebody on the ETHICS-L list had a survey. It did not
have a large data set and was composed of people on Bitnet. If I
remember correctly, one of the results was that non-registered use of
shareware was not any more prevalent than non-registered use of shrink
wrapped software.
If someone else doesn't have this citation at hand, let me know and I
will go through my paper files and try to find it.

In conversation with one of my colleagues in the School of Library
Science today, I learned that a suite of 4 CD-ROM drives is available at
a price of $1000 (brand unspecified). It apparently works in parallel
so that, e.g., a data base distributed on 4 cd-rom disks (ca. 2
gigabytes) can be searched with one command.
