According to my Visa bill I bought the Hyperglot Berlitz Italian CD-ROM from PCZone. It WAS NOT in their catalog. I called them up because they had the cheapest upgrade to DOS6 and while I was talking to them I ask about the CD. I had seen it elsewhere for…

#VOTE ON OED PRICE HERE!
Message #36499
Adrian – I got your message to Jan on OED. Possibly he read it too but I wanted to let you know. Cheryl
THE MAGIC WORDS! In all my years with Grolier and all my questions here no one has ever come up with an 800 number. I have a regular number and, when I have called, I have been shuffled from dept to dept without ever talking to a real person. I…
No bagels. Hopefully kids will bring some down at Thanksgiving. I did receive a mailer from The Map Store offering Street Atlas USA fpr $99. Possibly an older version??? Cheryl
Good. By the time my new machine is in, up and running and we have survived the upcoming civil, Christian and Jewish holidays I'll be ready to order AND the price will have dropped! It really sounds like a great product. Cheryl
Gee Frank, where were you when I needed you? I just moved from Oak Park and had an awful time finding CDs. Now that I no longer live there I see you are right up there by the New York Bagel Bakery. If I order a CD can you send…
Are we talking about Time here? Actually, I don't think it is a very good CD. It could be but they didn't do it right. If we are talking about something else let me know. Do you have a catalog of CDs? Cheryl
Ken, this is my third upgrade on Grolier and this is the first time they've pulled this nonsense. I personally feel four months is a scam. When you consider they called my house in June and said it would be shipping out immediately and could they have a street address…
I happen to own the Time Almanac. I thought they would upgrade periodically but, if they do, they haven't told me. It isn't that great, only goes back about 10 years and then sort of condenses everything before then. It's not that great for research. I sort of thought I…
I find Grolier's business practises to be, at best, questionable. I had thought they were a reputable company but I may have been wrong. The Postmaster did say I was solicitate by mail and ordered by mail so I could file a complaint. I keep thinking if they have to…

Message #27979
Here I am again with the same question: has anyone received the latest Grolier update?? They did [finally] cash the check about a month ago but I still haven't gotten a disk and they ignore correspondence about this. Advice? Cheryl

#CD-ROM and STACKER
Message #22158
I just ordered a laptop, plan to install Stacker and then my CD-ROM. Does that sound right to you based on your experience? Is there anything else I should know? I don't have the knowledge to figure out the problem if I screw up so I want to do it…
I suggest you call the Bureau of Electronic Publishing at 1-800-828-4766. At $900 it is less than half the price of the books and it takes up a LOT less space.
No, you have to get it from Meridian Data [408] 438-3100. Cost is $40. It arrived in less than a week and it solved ALL my problems. [I just went through this in the last week.] Documentation stinks but if I can figure out how to install it you probably…
SETVER GRR
Message #15025
Thanks. When the extensions came they were actually 2.2. There was a note to install them manually. I didn't find any instructions to do things like copy the new MSCDEX.EXE to the appropriate file and then copy the proper device driver there too. After scratching my head for awhile I…
What Drive??
Message #15024
Thanks to you and all the others who helped. The new extensions arrived. The instructions were written in techie so I applied my own logic to the problem and now everything seems to be running fine. I needed to make a change in SETVER [which I now understand, more or…
