Kevin, I want it to be entertaining – but to play these disks, too. If there are things available for ANY computer, and those things provide information I want, I want MY computer/interactive video/whatever to play it, too. Don't want a separate player for everything that interests me. Besides, you are not (apparently) aware of how we could use the hypermedia stuff on such a disk. For instance, clicking on a name could bring up every mention of that name on all that disk! Or, going back to your other ideas, clicking on a place name might show us what that place was like at the time in history we were speaking of. Genealogy is not just collecting names and dates – it is learning how our ancestors lived, what was important in their lives, what was happening around them, and how they have influenced our own lives. Nothing makes history come alive more than learning how it has affected one's own family. ……Betty
