I'm surprised they haven't maintained the old Tempe,AZ phone number. -FER [log in to unmask] http://www.clockwk.com/fer ---------------------------------------------------------- >Date: Thu, 08 Aug 96 16:48:29 EDT >From: Helen <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: PC-GLOBE Jim, the company that is responsible for PC-Globe has a different name and city. They are actually now located in your state. The new name is: Broderbund, P.O Box 6125, Novato, CA 94948-6125 or 500 Redwood Blvd., Novato, CA 94948-6121. (one is from the CDROM disc of "Maps N Facts" the other address from the User's Manual for the disc. We purchased the CDROM a few months ago using the phone number "415-382-4700. Hope this helps. Our PC-Globe would not work in the Windows95 environment either. However the Maps N Facts will work on both the MAC and the Pentium . Please let us know if you discover a way to make the PC-Globe 5.0 work in Windows95. By the way, I know a number of librarians who went on a similar search for the company. We don't know if the company was purchased by someone else or simply changed their name when they relocated. They seem to have lacked good communication and promotional skills. Our freshman really liked the program or we would not have spent so much time trying to relocate the company.
