It is interesting for all to note. Interactive Multimedia CD roms continue
to be more popular in France (and Europe I imagine). They are in pocket
book sized packages and lined up like books with great selection and
variety that you have to carefully browse. Wereas in North America
packaging tends to be cereal box sized and also competing for shelf space
with popular brands with lots of sweet things and gimmicky surprises.
I have a garden size garbage bag filled with software boxes. I have been
thinking of collage or sculptural possibilities in order to recycle them.
Perhaps I should transfer my cereals to them for decanting. Hmm maybe not.
