Date: Mon, 25 Apr 94 18:41:19 GMT Lines: 98 Hello all, Having received many requests for more information on the Perfect Vision CD rom, I have decided to post the info. Send requests for more info to them, not to me. I will be posting the gif listing from the CD to a.b.p.m. Here is their press release: Perfect Vision Graphics, Inc. 1841 West Main Street Troy, Ohio 45373-2303 For Immediate Release: (April 18, 1994) PRESS RELEASE : Perfect Vision Graphics, America's Premiere Image Online service announces the release of "The Best Of Perfect Vision" Volume I - The first in a series of High Quality Image CD ROMs. The Best Of Perfect Vision, unlike many other "Image Collection" CD's (or those that contain Image Areas), contains only images scanned and processed by Perfect Vision Graphics of Southwestern Ohio. The CD contains approximately 2,000 .GIF format images amounting to 635 Megs of superior quality images free of defects, pallette disorders, sizing irregularities, and large BBS Logos. Perfect Vision Graphics received the PC Graphics Excellence Award for 1993 and continues to receive high praise from the online community who know their graphics well. For personal collectors, the release of the Best Of Perfect Vision CD-ROM means a chance to get a large collection of superb quality images spanning Celebrities, Classic Television, Music Stars, Science Fiction, Railfan's Collection, Breathtaking Nature and Wildlife, and of course, Beautiful Women at an extremely reasonable price. For sysops, it means being able to offer your callers a large collection of NEW sought-after images, rather than the same old shuffle of .GIFs that date back to the 80's still finding their way to many Shareware CD's. For those people who have not yet had the opportunity to sample images from Perfect Vision, they can do so by calling the Perfect Vision Graphics BBS at 513-233-7993 (14.4 v32bis). While this is a subscription service, Perfect Vision offers a "Try Before You Buy" 15 day period to download from a large Sample Directory that contains full, beautiful images. All of the images on the disc are in .GIF format (Graphic Interchange Format), and the disc itself is an ISO 9660 CD ROM. As a result, virtually all IBM PC's, Apple MacIntosh computers and Unix machines equipped with a CD ROM drive can be used to read this disc. The CD comes FULLY BBS READY for those sysops who wish to run it online for their callers. The .GIFs can be read/viewed from virtually any image reader and though Perfect Vision does not include a .GIF reader (if you are enough a fan of .GIFs to purchase an entire CD of them, you most certainly already have your favorite), we recommend Bob Montgomery's VPIC. The latest version is always available at Perfect Vision's BBS as well as on CompuServe, and most other online services. Cost for "The Best Of Perfect Vision" Volume I CD-ROM is $49.95 + $6.95 for shipping. The CD itself is a beauty utilizing cover-art created especially for the disc by the talented Brian Dake. Each CD comes in a jewel-case and is securely packaged for shipping. Telephone and OnLine orders can be taken with MasterCard or Visa. Mail orders are accepted with Credit Card, Check or Money Order. * * * DEALER INQUIRIES WELCOME * * * Contact: Robin Reston Perfect Vision Graphics 1841 W.
