P3D 3D-CD comments...

[Dan Shelley <dshelley@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As the 3D-CD project comes nearer to an end, I thought I would take a
minute and repost some of the comments others have made about their
copies of the 3D-CD in case there is still a fence sitter or two
somewhere! (Warning: shameless "self-promotion" ahead...) ;-)

Thanks again to all of you who have ordered copies, and those of you who
have gone the extra step and posted responses!

John Toeppen:

"This is great. You have done a very good thing here.  You have set a
precedent.  Lit a fuse, catalized a movement. Great job, Dan."

- - - - - - -

Bill Walton:

"I think it is great... ...what a fine thing you have accomplished."

- - - - - - -

David Kesner:

"I received your 3D-CD and am just as impressed as everyone else. Great
job."

- - - - - - -

Bob Wier:

"I didn't find ANY bad links - I can't believe you kept all that
straight! No problems so far with bad sectors or anything - the label is
nice too! ...Dan's done an incredible job."

- - - - - - -

Bill Burns:

"I can't begin to comprehend the amount of work you put into this
project. Congratulations on a great job, and thanks for putting together
this unique time-slice of the 3D web."

- - - - - - -

John Fairstein:

"I just got my 3D-CD from Dan Shelley and it is outstanding! Works fine
on my Macintosh."

- - - - - - -

Fred Peters:

"I just received Dan's CD today, and so far it's a very professional
working and looking CD. I don't impress very easy but I think I'm
impressed with this fine collection of work."

- - - - - - -

Stephen Wagner:

"There is a tremendous amount of great 3D stuff on it. Everything worked
flawlessly. It is very professionally done. ...In my opinion it is worth
at least double the price and clearly took a
lot of time and effort to produce."

- - - - - - -

David & Susan: (of Reel 3D)

"We don't know how we will find enough time in the next 10 years to look
at the entire disk, but it looks fabulous!!!!!"

- - - - - - -

Elliott Swanson:

"Nice job on your CD-ROM!"

- - - - - - -

Lester Konrad:

"There is so much on there. I haven't even tried it while being hooked
up to the Internet yet and probably won't have to for a while, there's
so much to look at. It works great just on it's own. My wife couldn't
tear me away from it. I am certainly glad that I did not miss out on
this one. Dan Shelley did a commendable job on this."

- - - - - - -

Jim Crowell:

"It's positively overwhelming!  I've just barely begun to scratch the
surface, it's really loaded."

- - - - - - -

Jay Schumacher:

"After having my 3D-CD for about 24 hours I have only scratched the
surface, but I'd just like to say that Dan has done a great job on this
project. It's like browsing a great "links page" with a perfect internet
connection."

- - - - - - -

Peter van Zuijlekom:

"Wow, this is is more and better than I could have imagined. ... Dan,
you've done a teriffic job. (capitals on) THANKS ! (capitals off). It's
also amazingly functional and fast."

- - - - - - -

Shab Levy:

"What a terrific job you have done Dan! For those people that commented
about the high price (Ha!) I would like to comment back and say that in
my opinion this is a great bargain, probably the best bargain in 3D in a
long time."

- - - - - - -

Claude Belcher:

"This cd is great, and a wonderful bargain.  If you haven't ordered
yours and you miss this offer, you will be most unhappy.  I look forward
to the next project.  This one is a pleasure to use and view.  I could
not be more pleased."

- - - - - - -

Hayden Baldwin:

"I received my cd the other day and I have been so engrossed in it I
haven't taken the time to say "Thank You!". A lot of work went into the
project, it shows. Thanks for doing all this and it is worth far more
then the few pennies you charged!"

- - - - - - -

Boris Starosta:

"I must say - even with the rave reviews coming in from others in recent
days - you have to see it to believe it!  A truly fabulous product. High
quality AND quantity. ...This CD is going to be a great resource for
many months, even years... (certainly that's how long it will take me to
get through it all!)...  beyond that, of course, it will be
collectible!"

- - - - - - -

Lawrence Kaufman:

Ditto! Great job Dan, Thank you very, very much! I appreciate the time
you spent putting the whole thing together. Even though I am falling
behind on several projects, I found myself surfing, the CD and linking
back and forth from the web for hours last night. The CD is so fast,
it's great. ...I am looking forward to your next projects!"

- - - - - - -

Dave Harvey: (of SofTreat software)

"(I) want to congratulate for the excellent work you did.  I know,
especially from a programming
standpoint, that a lot of time and thought has to go into a finished
product. You did real good!"

- - - - - - -

Michael Kersenbrock:

"RAVE RAVE RAVE CHIME CHIME CHIME.... Ditto for me.  Mine came and I'll
chime in with a rave review both for all the work Dan did, as well as
the work of all the contributors of the CD's
content.  The price was nominal and the worth is priceless.  Quite the
definition of a great deal."

- - - - - - -

Marcus Warrington:

"I haven't had time to look at it fully yet but a quick click here and
there certainly shows what a fantastically professional job DDDan has
done (and what a brilliant idea it was in the first place.). I'm sure
the tiny cost of purchasing the CD will be made up for in the savings on
my phonebill alone ! GO BUY IT...  WHILE YOU STILL CAN."

- - - - - - -

Dave Huddle:

"To those who haven't got it yet, GET IT!  You'll be glad you did!"

- - - - - - -

Tony Davies:

"I am very very very pleased with all of it , my goodness what a labour
of love. It may be interesting to estimate how many pages many volumes
of paper it would take to print it all out, this must be the Encarta of
the 3D world."

- - - - - - -

Paul Ivester:

"You sure managed to put a lot of stuff on it!. It appears well
organized and easy to navigate.  Quite professional looking. The biggest
problem I see is that it will take me MONTHS to look at all the stuff
that's on it :-).  Still a lot faster than loading from the Internet."

- - - - - - -

Ray Hannisian:

"I just received the CD-ROM, and find it to be a remarkable piece of
work.
Thank you."

- - - - - - -

Brad Richmond:

"First, I must add my compliments to Dan for his great CD. I have yet to
explore all of the links, but from what I have seen so far it is
terrific! Great job Dan, and great job to the many of you who have sites
listed on the CD. This was money well spent. I know I have hours of
great, and fast surfing ahead. Thanks Dan!"

- - - - - - -

Peter Davis:

"Well, you can add my voice to the chorus of those singing the praises
of Dan Shelley's 3D-CD.  What an EXCELLENT collection of material.  I
got mine yesterday, and I've only had about half an hour to "surf" it. 
It looks like there's an enormous volume of interesting and useful
stuff, all very accessible via the HTML interface. Bravo, Dan!  Thanks
for this."

- - - - - - -

Keith Davies:

"My compliments to you for this undertaking.  This is just about the
most professional job in an interactive CD I have yet met.  Hope you are
planning on more in the future."

- - - - - - -

Tom White:

"I received my 3D-CD a couple of days ago and boy am I impressed! You
put one heck of a lot of work into this. Thank you."

- - - - - - -

Tom Hill:

"The CD is absolutely fantastic."

- - - - - - -

Greg Dinkins:

"Great work you did on the CD."

- - - - - - -

Greg Erker:

"Today, on my lunch hour, I tried the CD on a resonably fast Pentium PC.
What a difference. Virtually everything just pops up. I zoomed through
Dan Shelley's APEC photos in no time. Very nice..."

- - - - - - -

Well, enough of that, there is more, but... Thanks again all!! I trust
you are all still enjoying the 3D-CD project, and will for some time!
Please point out things you find and enjoy as others with the CD might
miss that particular item, or just not get to it for a while...

Well, off to bed now... By the time stamp on this note, you would think
I am still putting the contents of the 3D-CD together, eh? ;-)
