Re: ELEM: First Connections/Golden Book Encyclopedia

[Barb Engvall <macbarb@CHARTER.NET>]

Hi Caryn,

 From what I have been able to figure out they no longer exist and there
is no substitute that I have found. I, too, have the same
problelm...and it comes from having faster machines! Mine still work
great on the old 5400 Macs, but not on the new iMacs or eMacs! Even
though the eMacs ship with the new World Book the reading level is too
high for the 2nd graders!
