fellow cdrom aficionados: does anyone recognize this Software Toolworks cd slipcase?
it appears to be the backside of a disc, but i can't figure out which disc this might be

Загружаемся с Raspberry Pi Pico

Я продолжаю освещать работу с USB на Raspberry Pi Pico. В текущей статье хочу привести пример, как можно использовать Raspberry Pi Pico в качестве загрузочного USB-устройства.

Распространение CD-R и кризис музыкальной индустрии

В 1982 году Philips и Sony выпустили компакт-диск, и музыкальная индустрия получила самый доходный физический носитель вплоть до наступления эпохи стриминга. В пиковом 1999 году CD-продажи в США принесли около $12,8 млрд из общих $14,6 млрд отраслевой выручки. Совсем скоро эта же технология стала главным врагом индустрии и запустила ожесточенную битву за авторские права. Расскажем об этом подробнее в нашем материале.

after years of digging and research, i finally found the toolkit that was used to make MS multimedia software Encarta, Dinosaurs and Dangerous Creatures.

when i fell in love with these programs, i imagined they were built with a rich multimedia authoring environment/IDE like Macromedia Director. e.g. dragging and dropping images, sounds, text and video onto a stage, animating it with keyframes, and then scripting it for interaction.

the toolkit used was, as it turns out, a very roughly hewn collection of individual programs. there was no IDE. all of the content was written in RTF files, which were then compiled with links to external resources like wavs and avi's.

i cannot imagine what a nightmare this was for the MS Home teams to work with. there is no drag and drop of any kind, no object linking and embedding (OLÉ!), nor animation editor. this is a dog's breakfast of individual programs written by different people.

i'm frankly amazed that the MS Homes teams put together such well-designed programs *despite* how painful this toolkit is to use

the one thing i can say in its favour is that it has one badass tetricube logo for cover art :D

huge thank you to @david_rysk and @philpem for archiving this extremely obscure piece of software

CD-ROM Journal: A Trip to 90s Kansai: Exploring the XD FirstClass Network BBS. “XD-submit Vol. 1, as it turns out, is a promotional disc for a Kansai-area bulletin board system (BBS) called XD FirstClass Network. As I started digging into it I assumed this would be sort of a basic information kit, a digital pamphlet or something, but it’s something a lot more exotic: a functioning archive of […]
