The double-CD with the contents of the Commodore Billboard and a recent mirror of the CBM Funet archive is available now.
Starting today, the double-CD with the contents of the Commodore Billboard is available. The second CD contains a recent mirror of the CBM-Funet archive, which is maintained by Marko Mäkelä. It also contains files that were removed from the archive lately. Many thanks again to Marko who has mastered the second CD.
Nearly all files of the double-CD can be downloaded for free on the internet under
www.commodorebillboard.de
and
www.funet.fi/pub/cbm
Running websites of this scale costs a lot of money. All profits of the CDs will be used to run the websites with their high volume traffic.
We encourage our customers to copy the CDs, and to make them available in sharing-services. All this will help us in reducing the cost of the websites. Those who want to donate to the websites can buy the double-CD for about 15,- EUR from retail partners of individual Computers.
The Commodore Billboard is created from user contributions. Everyone who contributed so far gets the double-CD for the price of shipment. Distribution of the free CDs is done by Stefan "Galaktus" Zelazny, the new webmaster of the Commodore Billboard. Please contact him via eMail if you want such a free CD. New contributions are also rewarded with a free CD!

Commodore Billboard double-CD available : Comment 1 of 4 | ANN.lu |
Posted by takemehomegrandma on 22-Jul-2003 22:04 GMT | What is the quality of the files available on the CD? Are they of the same quality as the online files, or are they in a higher quality (more close to the originals)? |

Posted by Jens Schönfeld on 22-Jul-2003 22:52 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (takemehomegrandma): The quality of the audio, video and scans is identical. All video has been converted to MPG to make it cross-platform compatible (no more realplayer stuff). There's no difference to the web page, except for access speed, and auto-start on Win machines.
The Funet CD contains the whole CBM archive and the CP/M stuff, plus the recently removed VIC-20 cartridge rom images.

Posted by Søren Ladegaard on 24-Jul-2003 19:38 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (priest): Amiga Inc. is Amiga related. The Amiga is Commodore related hence the appearance on the Commodore Billboard....and it's in the misc. section too.
I think it's fun stuff to include.
