- I work on setting up the computers for a small grade
- school and am going to buy a CD ROM Drive and an
- Encyclopedia. They don't need a particularly fast
- or fancy drive, so I'm leaning toward a NEC 74
- because its so cheap.
-
- I'm wondering about encyclopedias that come on CDs.
-
- Are there good/bad ones?
- Is the Toolbox (or Toolworks) one any good?
- Can you print articles from these CDs?
- Are there monitor requirements? (Color, 13 inch?)
-
- I'd appreciate any info or guidance in this area.
-
- Thanks in advance.
