The CD-PASS
For those who want
to be really modern there is the CD-Pass, a business card-shaped 30mb CD
that can be jam-packed with any amount of information about a layout
including pictures, music, track plans and any amount of text description
of a railroad.
A pass made from a ‘business card’ CD is a
natural extension of the ‘PASS’ concept.
The idea is to create the equivalent to small web site on a CD by
copying selected files required to display a number of site pages plus an
‘autorun’ file to automatically bring the site
up when the CD is loaded into the system.
Pages that might be included are:
Welcome or home page for site
Pictures of model railroad
Links page to other favorite sites
E-pass page
A biographical page telling about
yourself
These files can all be copied manually or they
can be transferred by backup utilities like Roxio’s
“Easy CD Creator” or a regular installation program such as the WISE
Installer.
The insert for the jewel box, if designed
properly, can actually be a traditional pass (See the section above on
the design of the traditional pass.
The CD pass makes an excellent souvenir to
those visiting your miniature empire as it combines all the features of
the traditional pass and the e-pass and more. The jewel box insert if designed
carefully can actually be a traditional pass while the CD can display all
the passes you have received to date.
