CD-Quickshare

[Ernest Perez]

There is a review of the Stac product in January 9 PC Magazine which featured 
networked CD approaches.  Grudging admission of utility, "Stac Electronics has 
applied its compression art to CD-ROM sharing, but the results are not 
auspicious. CD-QuickShare ($745)is a speedy, hard disk-based peer-to-peer 
solution that needs no dedicated CD-ROM drives or file server and can be set 
up on virtually any network without difficulty, despite making you install 
software on each client PC. If you already have large amounts of free hard
disk space on your network, the solution could be relatively inexpensive."
