Darius: You are right about the CD-ROM atlas probably being just a little to recent a technology. I just bought a new machine for home, a 486DX2 66 and it came with a CD-ROM Drive as standard equipment. A color printer would have pushed the price up to around $4000. Here in the U.S. a CD-ROM drive is a fairly cheap and increasingly common add-on device for new systems. DeLorme's Street Atlas (Map Expert) appears to be a "best seller" among the CD-ROM titles here in the U.S. We find it very easy to use here in the Map Room at Georgia. I had not yet seen "Global Explorer" but had hopes it would be easy to use and give patrons a good electronic world atlas. I have not been impressed with many of the electronic atlases I have seen up to now, but the potential is there with the CD-ROM format. The "Atlas of Georgia" will be out in a digital format very soon. It is closer to a GIS of Georgia than the other digital atlases I have seen. Johnnie Sutherland University of Georgia
