Re: REF: Need good Encyclopedia on CDROM

[Global SchoolNet <lmnet-l@ACME.FRED.ORG>]

We really like Groliers and have had no problems with it.  We also have the
Information finder (World Book) and First connections (Golden).  Each
student seems to prefer a different one for a different reason.  There is
also a new one, the name which escapes me, that is reasonable and good.
