The Official CD-ROM
The ABA produced "The Official CD-ROM" for the 1996 ABA Bank Card
Conference in Orlando, Florida, with the CD being billed as the basic
information about every exhibiting company and their product
brochures, videos, demos, slide shows and World Wide Web sites.
Now beyond the hype, the disk actually contains the names,
addresses, and contact numbers for 104 organizations, including the
ABA itself; however, only 25% of the companies listed on the CD had
any other information.
Interestingly enough, no information was provided on the disk from
Equifax, ETC Scan, Faulkner & Gray, VeriFone, MasterCard or Visa,
except for contact information. The multimedia winner on the ABA
disk was John Harland Company, with a wonderful AVI presentation on
the business called "Focus."
A small number of other companies also created nice information
pages including CrossCheck, Inc.
